  1. Buying Too Many Panels: Despite what some homeowners think about solar panels, getting more isn’t always a good thing. Sure, you might end up spending less energy from conventional sources, but the cost of having an excessively large system might not justify the amount you save on your monthly bills. Get an expert to help you estimate how many panels you need to avoid spending too much or too little.
  2. Picking the Wrong Cables: The right cable choice is very important when it comes to solar installation. Sometimes homeowners try to reduce installation costs by buying thinner, more affordable wires. As a result, the wires are more likely to get overloaded and literally melt or burn, creating a serious fire hazard. Get the right cable and you won’t have to worry about overloading.
  3. Poor Cable Management: Installing multiple panels means there will be numerous cables involved so it is very important to have those cables properly sorted out during installation. Another thing you should be wary of, is how the cables are properly secured with the panel since strong winds or other factors could knock a wire off, rendering a panel useless.
  4. Installation Without Experience: Many people try to DIY solar panel installation, often with poor results that cost them a lot of time and materials. If you want to make sure your panels have the perfect layout and configuration, it’s much better to actually hire licensed professionals like us instead of risking your equipment. To top things off, having solar panels installed by a solar panel company protects them with service warranties, so you still get to save in case something goes wrong during installation.
