When it comes to solar panels, we’ve seen a thing or two up on our clients’ roofs that may shock you.
Cheap solar panels and unreliable service can have a negative impact on your home and your bank account. We have a look at a few examples of solar horror stories that we’ve come across in our travels, and how to avoid them!
Things that can go wrong
Dodgy installation is, unfortunately, common amongst companies offering a cheaper rate for solar services. If you’re paying as little at $500 for your solar panels to be installed, you might need to ask a few questions to avoid disaster from striking your system down the track.
Hot Tip: If the cost of this seems cheap to you, corners may be cut during your installation. This can result in:
- Unstable mounting and framing of your panels, meaning that your panels could easily be upended during strong storm winds.
- The wires not being placed in conduit, meaning that your panels will fry after a few years in the hot Australian sun.
- The placement of the panels will be rushed, resulting in less energy efficiency for your home and money wastage on your behalf.
Expert advice
Ask questions, talk about your needs and an expert installer will always listen carefully to you and take the time to consider the best solution for you. In fact, it’s a huge part of the process. Factoring in your current bill, where you live, even things like when your home – there’s lot of questions we ask so you get full value of every hour of sunlight.
