The decision to go solar requires a considerable upfront investment, but it is an exciting one. It can feel like you're watching the needle on your electricity meter slowly turn backward as you sell excess power back into the grid!
However, going solar needs a lot of guidance to make sure you get the best results. Here are some common mistakes homeowners make when upgrading to solar.
Mistake 1. Some people make the mistake of not reducing their consumption before going solar.
Solar is sexy, energy efficiency is not. But if you are thinking of having solar panels installed on your house, don't forget to reduce the amount of energy you use in the first place!
A home audit by a certified professional will identify where your biggest losses are and how to address them. Energy retrofits can save around 30% on electricity bills- that's a big difference when it comes time for purchase decision-making.
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!
