Many individuals are choosing to go solar to generate clean energy and reduce their current expenditure on fuel bills.
Information online is often conflicting and those with only a basic understanding of what they are looking for can soon become quite confused!.
At the end of the day, a solar energy system is not a small investment and you need to ensure you are getting the correct system to meet your needs.
The price is always amongst the most pressing factors when choosing a solar system as everyone will have a budget for their project to work around. The solar panel size, their output in watts, the manufacturer and the length of guarantee all have a big impact on the cost. You should not choose a system based on price alone. A system needs to have the correct certifications, a lengthy warranty and be a suitable size for the space you have available.
The length of the equipment guarantee, has to be one of your prime considerations. Equipment should last for 25 years, so if the warranty is short, you should be questioning why. If you do opt to have panels fitted that only come with a ten year guarantee for example, you have to think about the irritation and expense that would be involved in replacing them in just ten years, and calculate if this would still make your system a sensible option financially. You should be looking for equipment with a twenty five year waranty. It is a false economy in the long run if you buy cheaper, poor quality equipment that is not going to last.
The wattage of the equipment is very important. The higher the wattage, the bigger the panel will need to be. The watts of the solar panel will inform you how many watts it can produce per hour in optimum conditions, for example in full sun, a 100 watt panel can generate 100 watts of electricity each hour. You need to make sure that your rooftop is large enough to hold the amount of the solar panels you will need. Make sure that you will be able to generate the amount of watts you are aiming to produce. You will need to know the wattage you would usually consume on a day to day basis to power your home\’s appliances and lights.
There are three different types of silicon used to construct a photovoltaic panel. Identify the type most suitable for your system and budget. The cheapest option are the Amorphous, highly flexible panels ideal for a wide range of sites, these are the biggest panels on the market. Polycrystalline solar panels are efficient but they are a little bigger than the Mono-crystalline model\’s which are the slickest and most expensive option.
