  1. 7 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION FOR HOME

  2. More consumers are opting for solar panel installation for home than ever before. As the cost of solar technology continues to fall, the number of installations are on the rise. Although there are many people who’ve undergone the process of installation, there are still only a handful who’ve owned a solar system through its entire lifecycle. So before opting for a solar panel installation for home, here are seven points you need to consider:

  3. #1 Does your Roof Support Solar Panels? This is a key consideration. If your roof receives shade for a better part of the day, then it is likely not a favourable spot for panels. You can always install them in your garden or lawn. If neither of these options seem feasible, then consider community or shared solar options. If on the other hand, your roof is a good spot for solar panels installation, ensure it is structurally sound. Newer roofs are strong enough to support panels for up to 25 years. However if you know your roof will require major work in the next couple of years, consider dealing with this first before going ahead with the installation.

  4. #2 Improve Efficiency The quantity of energy produced will depend upon how much is used. Therefore trim down on energy usage prior to installing those panels. Begin with an energy audit and select efficiency upgrades BEFORE drawing up blueprints!

  5. #3 Photovoltaic vs. Thermal: Pick one! Photovoltaic and thermal are two of the most popular types of solar technologies. In the former, an array of cells capture sunlight and transform it into electricity. In the latter version, sunlight is used to heat air and water for internal use. If you reside in an area where heating fuel is expensive or a lot of heating is required, then a solar thermal option is best for you. #4 Connection to the Grid This means establishing a connection with the utility company and working out the logistics. Work out how long it will take to get hooked up to the grid? What fees do you have to pay? Once connected, when and how will you receive credit for the electricity you generate, i.e. net metering.

  6. #5 Reliable Installer Without a doubt, you must hire an installation company with sound references, experience and credentials. This is because solar panel installation for home involves electrical work and the logistics of home improvement. This is a big decision so don’t be afraid to seek out a number of quotes before making a selection.

  7. #6 Buying versus Leasing Conduct a cost versus benefit analysis before making a decision. Purchasing an installation may have more costs up front but it incurs larger dividends. Leasing enables you to access affordable electricity with almost no money down. However the benefits are limited. #7 Contract Before finalizing your solar panels, you will have to sign a contract. It will include details about ownership, financing, performance expectations, repairs, service calls (if any) and warranties. Investing in a solar panel installation for home is a big investment.
