Going solar is an investment in your life and the life of our planet — an amazing, and expensive one.
That said, you’ll want to get the longest possible lifespan out of your panels.
We’re here to make sure that you do :)
Before you even commit to going solar, it’s imperative that you do your research.
The possibilities for solar power are truly endless — so it can be intimidating when you first dip your toes in the sun ;)
We recommend taking some time to research your solar power options and evaluate the pros and cons of each — this will ensure that you get the panels that are best fit for you.
If — and when — you do get your panels installed, you’ll want to get them regularly checked and maintained.
Loose connections, broken glass, and cracked panels are the most common panel issues.
However, there are other problems that are harder to discover — these include damaged wiring and electrical faults.
Lastly, you’ll want to ward off unwanted pests.
Solar panels are extremely durable against climatic factors, and typically require little maintenance.
But birds and rodents can be a solar panel’s Kryptonite, specifically if there is exposed wiring.
These uninvited guests can chew through wires and damage your panels, leading to expensive repair costs — not to mention a pounding headache.
To prevent this, invest in a critter guard!
A critter guard is a physical barrier made of mesh netting that wraps around your solar modules to block these pesky pests.
With these tips in mind, you’ll be sure to get the most out of your new solar system :)
