Is it worth investing extra in a higher wattage and higher quality solar panel?
Synopsis
In summer, the heat can be unbearable, but by choosing high-quality solar panels, you can get more performance per watt, better low light performance on cloudy days, and longer usage with better product warranty. With the increasing demand for roof space, choosing higher wattage panels can save space, allowing you to fit more solar panels and store more energy for the future.
When it comes to solar installation, customers are often looking to reduce their energy usage, their CO2 footprint and want a long-term solution to offset rising energy costs. By saving energy and money, they can also contribute to the environment. So, investing in quality solar panels is a smart choice for those who want to make a difference.

Yeah, we really feel the heat here in summer. We have some great summer days, but they're 35 degrees plus. Having quality panels installed means that you're going to get decades of usage out of those panels, by selecting the right product from the start. High quality solar panels not only give you better benefits by being resistant for the coast, having better product warranty, the big plus for you is that you get more performance per watt out of these panels. You're getting high yield in heat on hot weather, you're getting better low light performance on those overcast and cloudy days.
Roof space is really important. Roof space is going to be a premium in the future when things like electric vehicles come out, and you want to be able to charge them off your solar. Where you want to be able to store the energy to make yourself 100% free from energy from the grid, you're going to need as much roof space as you can to fit more and more solar panels. Where we've got 345 Watts in one panel compared to a lot of the panels being solar only 270-300 Watts. So we're fitting a lot more power in a smaller amount of roof space. So looking at higher wattage panels to save on roof space is something that you want to be considering right now.
I think our average customer when they come to see us about installing solar power, have a few things on their mind. One is they want to reduce their energy usage, they want to reduce their CO2 footprint. And they want something that's going to keep working long-term, to keep offsetting these rising energy costs that just keep going up every year, year on year. A lot of it is saving energy, saving money, and then secondly is being able to contribute to the environment.
