Having full knowledge of your energy needs before buying a solar panel brand of your choice is crucial. Taking your time and spending a little more money at the initial stage can make your system perform at an optimum rate, reduce stress, and give you joy unlike going for cheaper panel brands. Below are some helpful hints to consider before buying any solar panel for a positive solar experience.
1. Pre-purchase research: Setting aside a little time to do research on your own is critical before going green. Determine the amount of energy you consume, size of the potential solar system, what type of panel is required (Polycrystalline or Monocrystalline), amount of power needed, how much energy the panel will produce, and what panel brand most satisfies your energy demands. There are lots of very cheap panels in the market, but don’t be misled because these cheap panels can hide poor quality equipment made to appear like quality products. If you are looking for a product that lasts for over 25 years so that your financial investment repays you over and over, it is advisable to do thorough research on the company offering the very cheap deals
2.Consider the roof and solar system sizes:- How spacious is your roof, and how large a system do you need? Try to do a roof size calculation to determine the specific amount or size of the solar PV panel your roof can accommodate. A solar engineer can help do a better calculation for you. Also remember to leave behind some space in case you wish to install a battery storage system for night time solar use or expand your solar panels because a quality panel lasts for over 25 years and within this period, power demands at your home or office may witness growth.
3.Strife for quality :-Solar panels come in varying sizes, quality, and prices. Therefore, set a budget for yourself depending on the plan you wish to embark on. Cheaper panels produce a lower grade system, less output productivity, and shorter lifespan, and this would cost you more in repairs and replacement in the future. PV panels supposed to be an investment of over 25 years, so consider going for pure quality and real warranty support against all odds. And remember, a solar system with a good brand name and performance increases property value when they are sold.
4.Manufacturer’s warranty:- Solar panels are quite huge and cost-intensive, and it would be unwise to keep replacing them after a short period of time. Therefore, the manufacturer’s warranty is critical to determining the longevity of the entire solar system. Most manufacturers offer 10 years manufacturing warranty and an 80% output efficiency warranty at 25 years. On the other hand, products offered by us such as LG offer a 15-year product warranty on all their solar panels and a 25 years warranty on the linear output (performance) of their panels; this guarantees that energy production of their panels does not go beyond 85% after 25 years. They further offer full parts and labor warranty as well as a replacement warranty.
5.Subsidy availability:- In most instances, solar systems attract rebates from the government, especially when they register them with the energy authority in that country. You should check with the install companies if the panels are registered. All our Solar panels & Components are registered, and they have passed the extensive fire resistance testing requirement (a new development), indicating their resolute approach to providing premium quality products.
