Solar panel installation is a tricky task. There are a lot of technicalities associated with it. That is the reason, you must put your best foot forward to have them installed at your property. Firstly, you need to be aware of the mistakes that people commonly commit when they decide on the installation. This will help you to make the installation as flawless as it can be. Well, of course, you have to put money on the best company in your location for solar panel installation. Still, you need to be aware of those mistakes as well.
Making unnecessary delay
Once you have decided to go solar at your home or business, there should be no looking back. Remember, as per the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme that is available in Queensland, every resident will receive an STC or Small Scale Technology Certificate for the solar panels that they purchase. Thus, this will reduce the cost of residential solar panel systems by at least 30 to 40%. Therefore, the more you delay, the more you lose out in this race getting discounts and reduction of cost of solar panel installation in Moreton Bay or elsewhere in Queensland.
Not taking into account the layout of the roof
The layout and the number of solar panels have to be in sync with the layout of the roof of your property. Remember, a solar installation can add up to 25 kgs of weight in per square meter of a typical roof. That is the reason, you must also consider the strength and the structural integrity of the roof before you opt for a particular layout. You must ensure that your roof can support the panels comfortably. If it has chimneys and swamp coolers, air vents, they need to be considered as well.
Inaccurate sizing of the solar panels
While calculating the appropriate size of the solar panels, you must take into account your total power usage and the dimension of the panels that will meet that power requirement. In fact, there has to be the right balance between these two factors. If not, it will result in…
- Improper panel orientation
- Inaccurate voltage settings in the inverter of the system
- Decline of the natural efficiency
Opting for low-cost solar panels
Well, you should have an eye on the budget, but that does not mean that you need to go for low-quality panels. The low-cost varieties will need to more than frequent maintenance and they will fail to meet your energy needs.
Not considering several quotes
There are a number of companies that offer solar panel installation in Toowoomba or elsewhere in Queensland. Thus, it’s your call to take into consideration as many quotes as you can from various service providers and choose the best one of them. Do not hurry and miss out on this. However, with Solaking around, you do not have to take too many quotes. We would guarantee the best service at the best quote.
Placing the solar panels away from direct sunlight
You do not have to be a specialist to realise that solar panels draw light or solar energy from the sun. Thus, placing the panels away from the direct sunlight is a grave mistake. You must place them at a place that receives unabated solar light for almost all day.
Opting for a DIY
Well, this is a strict NO-NO. Solar panel installation is not anybody’s job and surely not a DIY job. That is why you need to opt for a reputed solar panel installation company.
