If you are looking for solar it is easy to be overwhelmed by all the options and companies available on the market. Quotations can significantly vary from a company to another. With the cost of living increasing, everyone wants to save money. But it is a good idea to save money on your Solar installation?
“Cheap” or “bargain” are often associated with low quality and/or short lifespan. It is not different when it comes to Solar: you get what you pay for! Spending too little on your installation could cause disasters. Some examples of poor installations here. While a cheap solar system offers you a short payback period, it could cost you more money in the long run. Low-cost solar companies reduce the cost by using low-quality components and poor installation methods with no customer support. This could lead to low system performance or a faulty system. A cheap solar system will end up costing you more on repairs and replacements. Consider your solar installation as a long term investment and look for value. When buying solar, you don’t only pay for materials but also for the design of the system, its installation and the experience of the company.

That being said, the quality of the components is also important. Think that your panels will spend at least 25 years on your roof, exposed to extreme heat, cold, rain or wind. You want to be sure they will produce. Good quality panels differ from low-cost ones in the material used and the quality of the solar cells. Prefer Tier 1 quality components. In the solar industry, Tier 1 includes the top 2% of manufactures and ensure the highest quality possible.
