When researching to install a solar pv system it is important to consider a large number of factors in order to drive the best return on investment and save as much as possible in the long term. Speaking to a number of solar installers is the best way to find out all the information you will need and find answers to any questions you may have.
However, it is important to not simply purchase the first system you are quoted and ensure you compare a wide range of products at different price points to find the system that is best suited to your individual circumstances.
While at first glance solar brands may all seem the same, they can greatly differ in terms of durability, performance, efficiency and price point. There are a lot of uninformed and biased reviews out there, so it is important to consult a wide range of sources when conducting your research. It may also be a good idea to ask a number of reputable solar installers their opinions of a number of solar products and compare their responses. If they all agree a certain product is going to be good for you, it is just about who provides the best deal!
At Solar Market, we connect you with 3 local CEC accredited installers who can answer your questions and provide obligation free quotes. This is the best way to find the solar brands and products most suited to your home, as well as compare different solar installers and deals.
