Mistake 2. Getting lured into too good to be true deals

A lot of companies are coming out with fake solar panels to take your money. The truth is that you will end up paying more in the long run if these cheaper or inferior products don't last as advertised, provide subpar customer service and warranties, or cannot be installed by a qualified professional due to local permitting regulations.

On top of it all, they might not even live up to their promises (works on cloudy days! - doesn’t work at night). So make sure to talk to reliable solar companies only!

Mistake 3. Forgetting about insurance

Solar energy is a significant investment that requires you to minimize your risk. Solar panels are generally very durable but like many other investments, there can be malfunctions or unexpected problems. For example, issues with the roofing material where your panels are sitting.

Most homeowners forget to factor in this cost when thinking about buying into solar power and end up unpleasantly surprised later down the road; it’s worth remembering these factors before signing any contracts for installation!

Mistake 4. Not looking at every finance angle before purchasing

The key to a successful solar panel array is research. If you're not sure about how much your system will cost or what type of company would be best for leasing, there are plenty of resources available that can help guide you in the right direction - whether it's incentives and rebates offered by local governments or tips on finding out when new programs may come into effect from Uncle Sam himself!
