What you should consider when buying a solar system

When purchasing a solar system, there are a few important things to consider to ensure you get the best system for your needs. Here are some important factors to consider when making your purchasing decision:

Energy needs : Determine your current energy needs and plan for your future needs. Adequate solar system size can ensure that you generate enough energy to meet your needs.

Cost : A solar system can be a large investment, so you should consider your options carefully to ensure you get a high-quality system at a reasonable price.

Quality : Make sure that the solar system is made of high-quality materials and comes from a reliable manufacturer. A high quality solar system will last longer and be more efficient than an inferior one.

Guarantees : Make sure the system you choose comes with an adequate guarantee. A good warranty gives you the peace of mind that you are covered in the event of any problems.

Installation Costs : Consider installation costs when making your purchasing decision. It is advisable to choose a professional installer to ensure that the system is installed properly.

Certifications : Check whether the solar system has the necessary certifications and approvals to ensure that it meets applicable safety standards and can be operated legally in your area.

Power storage : Consider whether you need power storage to store and use excess energy when the sun is not shining.

Tax benefits and incentives : Find out about possible tax benefits and incentives to reduce the costs of purchasing and installing your solar system.

By considering these factors, you can ensure that you purchase a solar system that meets your needs and provides you with long-term benefits.

Further tips when buying a solar system

If you are planning to purchase a solar power system, there are a few important factors you need to consider. The first consideration concerns the optimal location of the solar modules, which includes both the orientation and the angle of inclination of the roof. Generally speaking, the optimal orientation for solar panels in the Northern Hemisphere is south, while the recommended tilt angle is between 25 and 60 degrees. In addition, the load-bearing capacity of the roof should be checked before installing the modules and it is advisable to consult a professional if there are any doubts about the load-bearing capacity of the roof.

Another important consideration is the size of the solar system, which should be based on energy consumption and budget. The efficiency and energy yield of a solar system depend on the type and quality of the solar modules, inverters and other components. Therefore, it is important to choose high-quality components from reliable manufacturers.

There are also some tips for choosing a solid and suitable solar power system. Before speaking to solar installers, it is advisable to gain some knowledge of the system, which can be gained through research on solar systems and knowledge of the local solar market. Furthermore, it is advisable to compare several quotes from different installers and choose a reliable installer with experience, qualifications and good customer reviews.

It is also important to know that solar energy can be used for both electricity and heat generation, and that there are two types of solar systems for these purposes: photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal. PV systems convert solar energy into electricity, while thermal solar systems convert it into heat. The choice between the two types of solar systems should therefore be based on the intended use of the solar energy.

Finally, it is recommended to use the solar energy generated by the solar system during the day when the panels receive direct sunlight. This can be done by timing the use of electrical appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers with peak solar power production times.

In summary, before purchasing a solar system, it is important to consider the optimal location, size, quality of components, reputation of the installer and the intended use of the solar energy. By considering these factors, it is possible to make an informed decision and select the best solar system for your needs.

Tips on how to find the right solar installer

If you are looking for a solar technician, there are various ways to find the right specialist company. Here are some tips that can help you find the ideal solar installer:

Search Online: An easy way to find a solar installer is to search online.

Read reviews: Read reviews from other customers to find out if a solar installer is reliable and does a good job. This can help you find the right solar installer.

Quality components: A good solar installer will use high-quality components to ensure your solar system is efficient and long-lasting. Therefore, make sure that brand names and product names are mentioned in the offer.

Experience and expertise: Make sure the solar installer has experience and expertise. You can find out by checking how long the company has been in business and what certifications and training the solar installer has.

Individual advice: A good solar technician will advise you individually and address your specific requirements and wishes. He can also give you tips on how to get the most out of your solar system.

Another example is searching for solar installers by zip code. Until recently, Xpert.Solar provided a Europe-wide map with Google Maps and over 12,000 registered solar installers. However, updating and maintaining entries became increasingly difficult. The seriousness of the registered solar installers, construction and electrical companies could no longer be checked and guaranteed in the long term. A rating function for the evaluation led to increased attempts at manipulation.

Xpert.Solar discontinued this functionality and replaced it with a solar system planner. More precisely, three. For

  • a solar planner for roof solar systems ,
  • a solar planner for solar carports and
  • a solar planner for solar terraces .

Xpert.Solar takes care of the initial contact. The next step towards implementation takes place together with a solar installer, electrical or construction company verified by Xpert.Solar. Until the end and beyond, Xpert.Solar remains your contact for advice and possible complications that usually arise again and again in construction projects. Unfortunately, this cannot be avoided. It is therefore all the more important that you have someone at your side who can act as a higher authority to mediate problems and find solutions quickly and easily.
