How important was the price when Gary was looking to buy a solar power system?

Synopsis

The decision to install solar panels in a residential property is not an easy one. It requires thorough research and analysis to ensure that the system is not only affordable but also of top-notch quality. The process usually involves getting multiple quotes from different suppliers and reviewing their fact sheets and customer reviews, among other things. The homeowner considers several factors, including the reputation of the system, its longevity, and its ability to meet their energy needs.

The main motivation for installing the solar system is usually to save money on power bills while providing an extra capacity for future use. As such, it is essential to invest in a quality system that can serve this purpose for the next 15-20 years. To achieve this, one must purchase the best system within their budget to ensure peace of mind and longevity of the equipment. In the future, the homeowner plans to add more panels, facing different directions to maximize their energy generation capacity.

The price was a factor in selecting the solar system, but it wasn't the, we didn't look for the lowest-priced system. We looked for a system that would last, and had a reputation for quality. I looked mainly on the Web. We got multiple quotes from different suppliers to see what was around, and then looked at the fact sheets and whatever else, and reviews for those systems, and then made our decision. I went through and looked at what panels were available, what inverters were available, and sort of came through an analysis of what I thought would work.

The main motivation to install solar was to save money on the power bills, but they'll also give us a bit of extra capacity in our usage, and what we could possibly do in the future.

Looking to the future, we're looking maybe putting some extra panels up, facing different direction to get more morning or afternoon power to cover it. It is important to buy quality within the range that you can afford. There's no point going too low in what you're buying. You need to keep that in mind. But yeah, go from what you can afford. The best that you can afford. The best you can afford, basically for peace of mind and longevity of the equipment. We hope to have this system lasting for the next 15, 20 years. While we're still here.
