Solar panels absorb the sun’s energy, converts it to usable electricity and, in the long run, reduces utility bills.
If you’re considering installing solar panels on your roof, or installing a brand new roof and using solar panels, then consult Garvey Roofing, a local roofing contractor serving Pasadena, Arcadia, and the entire San Gabriel Valley.
Here’s a quick sketch of how solar works as illustrated on Garvey Roofing’s Solar page.

You can learn more about roofing with solar panels. For Pasadena residents, visit the City of Pasadena’s Frequently Asked Questions about roofing with solar panels.
You can calculate your costs for solar power and learn how solar works:
“When you install solar panels on your property, you will still be connected to the grid. This allows you to draw from the grid when your system is not producing all the power that you need and send power back to the grid when you produce more than you use. It is possible to go off the grid with a solar energy system that includes a large enough battery storage, but it will cost significantly more and is unnecessary for most homeowners.”
In Arcadia, the city will limit where panels can be placed on roofs to keep any historic appearance. For more, check the City of Arcadia’s Solar App+.
