What are the problems with low quality solar power systems in salt air environments?

Located on the Sunshine Coast just 700 meters from the ocean and 200 meters from the Saltwater Canal, it's essential to buy a quality solar system. Installing a cheap system will lead to failure, degradation, corrosion, and moisture that can damage the panel.

High temperature, humidity, and salt levels are common in Queensland's coastal areas, making it crucial to buy a solar system that's designed to last. Invest in quality panels, inverters, isolators, and cables that come with a 25-year warranty. By paying a little extra at the start and getting a quality system, you can avoid years of headache and enjoy long-lasting benefits.

We're located here on the Sunshine Coast. Our office is 700 meters from the ocean, it's 200 meters from the Saltwater Canal. It's really, really important to buy quality. Of course we do a lot of work around the area, and a lot of those businesses or homes are all in the same area we're in. You put a cheap system in this area, it's simply going to fail after a short period of time. So put on a decent system at the start it'll last forever, no dramas at all. We are based here, only 700 meters from the ocean. The salt mist is quite severe, salt with a cheapest solar panel will work its way in, it will find a way into the panel, which can degrade the panel, it can corrode elements of it. And often what we find is the first thing is, it allows water and moisture to get into the panel. Queensland obviously, the majority of Queensland's built along the coast with that we've got high temperature, high humidity, and high salt levels.

It's really important that if you're putting solar on that, you buy something quality that passed all of the extra tests, to ensure that they are not going to be effected by salt mist. They will in fact warrant panels, right to the ocean and full salt mixed environments without a problem. Fully warrantied, 25 years for product, and 25 years for performance. A quality system will last the test of time and a cheap system might last a few years, if you're lucky. When choosing solar, it's really important to get quality panels, quality inverters, make sure the installers using quality isolators, quality cable. It's really important to get something that's designed to last for the long run, or you just end up with years and years of a headache. Pay a little bit more at the start, get a quality system and it'll work for a very long.
