What are the risks in choosing a solar installer that uses low quality parts and components?

At [company name], we understand the importance of using high-quality components throughout the installation of solar systems. From the cables to the conduits and all the accessories, we ensure that each component is of the highest standard possible. We believe that every part is crucial in delivering an end solution, and there are about 50 different parts in a solar system. By using high-quality components, we guarantee the longevity of the system.

Many of our competitors try to cut corners by using cheaper components in the installation process. While the panels and inverters may be of an acceptable standard, they reduce the cost and cut corners in the middle parts. This can lead to potential water leaks and safety issues in the system. The cables and conduits are just as important as the major components, and using lower quality components poses a significant risk, especially with high voltage systems that work in residences up to 600 volts. It is important to consider that the system will be on your roof for a long time, and you want it to last without any failures or safety hazards.

So yes, we're very selective about the balance of system components that we use as a part of installing solar. So, that's anything from the cable we use to the conduit that we use. All the accessories that go into delivering an end solution. So, there's lots of parts. There's probably about 50 different parts inside a solar system. And we ensure that we use high quality all the way through those components.

So many of our competitors cut corners by using cheaper components at various stages in that installation process. What that ends up meaning is that that system while maybe the panels are of an okay standard and the inverter is of an okay standard, all the bits in the middle they've actually reduced the cost and cut corners. And that will mean that the system is very unlikely to last as long as the other components. What you'll see is perhaps potential for water leaks. Potential for safety issues on those systems. And certainly those other bits, like conduit and cable, are just as important in terms of the solar system as the major components, like panels and inverters.
