How to get the Solar Provider?
Having contacted the right provider is a smart investment to get supported in the optimum quotation, finance, powerful design, smooth installation and stress-free future maintenance.
It’s easy to choose the best after having a look at the profile:
- Business tenure and number of successful installation.
- Customer testimonials and rating/reviews on installation and other supports
- Certificates and success stories with Photos and list of working licensed contractors
- Final optimal quote for smart investment with no hidden extra cost
- Range of device components they use
- Coverage of guaranty/warranty (usually 20 years)
Key points to select the right Solar Panel:
- Optimizing the available roof-space, potential energy production and cost involved
- Color of the panel, mounting design to match the beautiful home architecture
- Security of the investment in terms of guaranty/warranty. High-quality panels generally come with a 20-25 years warranty back-up.
It is important to get the correct Solar Inverter
Solar Inverter plays another important role as they transform the DC power generated by the panel in the AC Power for home-usage. Selecting the correct inverter depends on the design of the whole system as well. There are 2 types – String inverter and Microinverter.
Knowing the points below may result in a concrete discussion with your solar provider:
- String inverter is the right choice if the system has multiple panels. These inverters come with 10 years warranty and needs to be replaced after that.
- Micro inverter will be the best if the system has single panel. These inverters come with 25 years warranty and may not need to be replaced in the life of the home solar.
- The best fit inverter may depend on the shade the roof gets. This is generally a point of discussion with the provider.
Good to track the performance throughout. Constant monitoring and time-to-time service maintenance may help the system to maximize its performance and its life.
