Why You Should Hire A Professional To Install Your Solar Panels
Whether you are trying to go completely off the grid, or just want to be able to use solar power in your home to help with the electric bill, you are going to need to have some solar panels installed. It has become a bit popular lately to buy the panels and install them yourself. However, this is not always a good idea. While there are plenty of videos and instructions available online, it cannot take the place of experience and know-how. Here are just a few reasons you should consider using professional solar panel installation services.
Experience
The chances that your home and potential solar set up is going to be exactly like the ones in the videos or instruction blogs is minimal. You may live in different regions of the country, with different amounts of sunshine, have a larger or smaller home, and of course the make, model, and size of the panels you buy will all have an effect on the efficiency of your system. Professional solar panel installers have seen and worked on many different systems. They understand the weather and sunshine amount in your area. They can not only install the panels, but they can also tell you how many you are going to need and of what voltage to meet your expectations.
Warranty and Insurance
While no one wants to have an accident occur while someone is on your roof, installing solar panels, it can happen. This can cause your homeowner's insurance premium to go up and you will probably have to pay a deductible. Professional installers have their own insurance to cover any accidents to an employee or to your property if something is damaged or destroyed. If they damaged a panel while installing it, their insurance will replace it. In addition, most companies offer some type of warranty on the work they did. If the system does not work properly because of something they did, they will come back and fix the situation with no extra charge. Of course, if the problem was with the panel itself, hopefully, you have a warranty on that as well. Of course, if it wasn't the installer's fault, but a faulty panel, you are probably going to have to pay the installer to fix things.
Keep in mind that solar power does involve electricity. Add to that the fact that you will be working on your roof and you may find you are not comfortable doing the job yourself. Go ahead and buy the panels to save money, just use a professional from EcoMark Solar for the installation.
