6 Tips To Choose The Best Solar Panel Installer

 


Choosing a solar panel installer can be a tedious task especially when you need to understand a lot about solar panels (quality, efficiency) and related financial gains (tax credit, etc). These 6 tips can ease the process of installation to benefit realization:

 

1.     Credibility: We believe that working with an experienced provider can help with understanding all aspects of the business. A local trusted & experienced provider has a good understanding of weather conditions, installation requirements & financing options. True South Solar has been working in the South Oregon region for the last 10 years and has experience both in the residential and commercial market.

 

2.     Product Offerings: The provider must be offering the latest efficient products in the solar panel market. Currently, Sunpower is the #1 US commercial solar provider and its solar panels are the most efficient. They provide 25 years of warranty. In solar panels, efficiency is the single most important factor to consider while buying as one will realize benefits for ~40 years. Paying an extra premium for efficiency should be a no-brainer. In addition to solar panels, the installer must have the expertise to provide and install batteries.

 

3.     Consulting Services: Understanding the installation options can be tricky without the help of a trusted provider. The provider must be ready to visit the premises and evaluate the area & related infrastructure for a successful installation. A lot of expertise based on local climatic conditions can come in handy. The installer must provide a quotation covering details on installation charges, corresponding estimated energy/financial saving, and associated assumptions/risks. The biggest benefit of an on-site consultation is that you can seek clarification for all your doubts.

 

4.     Monitoring: The provider must provide options to monitor the performance of the solar panels and associated energy savings. There are associated apps that can be configured to track the panel performance and energy that it supplies to grid/battery/home consumption.

 

5.     Financial Advisory: ~40% savings on installation services are currently associated with federal & state government incentives and tax benefits. The provider must be able to provide the required Tax credit & Incentive Filing documents. 

 

6.     Reach: You must know the provider (Brick & Mortar Store) and should be able to reach out to them through different channels (Phone, Email, Physical Visit).

Depending on the technology, the average efficiency rate for most commercially available solar panels is 15% to 24%.  Greater efficiency delivers greater flexibility. Efficient solar panels allow you to generate the same quantity of power with fewer panels.  2.                Durability and Degradability Rate Another factor as vital as the efficiency of your solar panel is the durability of commercial solar panels.

Trees cause shades, especially in the winter months, as the sun remains lower in the sky. The differing roofline heights can also cast shades. Check for all such elements and try to reduce as much shade as possible. Rooftop Strength Solar panels and solar stands are heavy. Your rooftop must be able to withstand the weight of the entire system. It must also be 6 inches deep to easily fit the fastener
