Solar Panels?
I am purchasing a home that includes 2 solar panels measuring 8 foot by 4 foot located on the roof. Neither myself or the home inspector located a box that the Solar Energy would transfered to. should there be a box? also what can i expect from the solar panels? Thanks for the help…
Go up to the attic and see if there are wires or pipes coming from the panels. Could be you have a Solar Water Heater. They are more common. Your hot water system will have a circulating pump controlled by a thermostat.
Electric solar panels will generate DC which will not be usable in a standard house unless it is converted. Solars usually are used in conjunction with batteries.
