Re: Solar Shingles
Pat,
I'm pretty sure that a solar installer will be able to take reading to estimate how much power you could receive based on how clear a line-of-sight you have to the sun. Remember that not only buildings can block sun rays - other factors such as trees can have a big impact. I know of a case where a friend of mine built some wonderful solar panels and then his neighbor added a second story which cut down on some of his solar collection. He was then able to get a solar tracker which solved the problem. In regards to how much you'd have to spend I know that the installers will come and give estimates.
