What you need to know before you purchase a solar power system

When looking for a solar power system it is vitally important to choose the right system. But that can be difficult when faced with so many options and companies all telling you that their system is the best. There is a very simple process you can use to help you cut through the hype and make sure you invest in the right system for you. Follow these simple rules and you will have purchased a system that will provide you with free electricity from the sun for many, many years.

1. Without exception, the panel and inverter must be manufactured and warranted by a well known and trusted solar manufacturer who is based here in Australia. This point cannot be stressed enough. For example, would you buy a car which does not have a warranty and service centre here in Australia? Of course not! So why would you buy a solar power system that doesn’t? FACT: Up to 90% of the panels and inverters on the market today do not have a manufacturer’s presence in Australia.

2. Ensure that the company you are purchasing your system from is an authorised dealer for that manufacturer. FACT: Most companies will buy panels from unknown Chinese manufacturers based on price alone. Not on the quality of the product or reputation of the company.

3. Ensure that the company you are purchasing your system from are CEC accredited and that you have direct access to a CEC solar power designer so you can be assured that your system has been designed to produce the maximum amount of electricity that it possibly can. FACT: Up to 95% of the salesmen involved in the solar industry have no CEC solar training or qualification. In fact most haven’t even seen a system being installed. So how can you trust that what they are telling you is right?

4. Do your own research. Look up the manufacturing companies and read all about who they are and what they do. This way you can be assured that you are purchasing a quality product.
