Choosing the right components

Choosing the right components for your solar system is a crucial decision that determines whether you get a reliable system installed or not. The one that reduces your living costs for years can make all the difference. Let’s examine what makes the components right for your system.

Solar Panels

You can determine the quality of solar panels by looking at the following:

• Does the company have a quality website? If not, rule them out
• Has the company installed large-scale systems? If they have, it’s likely that they have done due diligence and are a reliable service provider
• Are warranties serviced at their expense? Run a mile in the opposite direction if they want you to send the panels for servicing at your own expense
• Do the panels possess a positive power tolerance? If so, they produce power at or above what’s labeled. Remember that higher-quality manufacturers select solar cells with positive power
• What’s the temperature coefficient? If the percentage is lower it indicates a better-quality panel, so go for it

Inverter

Not only the inverter registers the produced energy, but it’s also primarily responsible for converting the DC electricity into AC that can be ultimately used by your appliances. The recommended solar inverters come from German-based SMA and Italian Power One Aurora as they are ahead of all others. If you go for an inferior quality inverter, that will result in rendering a poor quality system.

Mounting System

The system that connects the solar panel to your roof is called the mounting system. Attaching this system to your roof depends on whether your roof is tile or tin. Rather than going for any other system, check the list of suppliers and make an informed decision.
