Why did Phil upgrade to a higher quality solar power system with microinverters?

In this video, Phil's house is used as an example of the benefits of solar panels. Phil has 13 solar panels on his house, each with an independent micro-inverter underneath, to increase efficiency and produce more power. Phil, an educated customer, understands the importance of buying a quality solar system to save more money on his power bills.

It's important to be aware of poor quality, high cost solar systems being sold by cold callers. Investing in a higher quality premium system will produce more power, be more efficient, have longer warranties and save you more money. Every solar system designed by the company is customised to suit each customer's energy needs and environmental conditions, taking into account factors such as roof, aspect, shade and environmental issues such as wind zones.

If we look at Phil's house, as an example, Phil's got 13 solar panels on his house. He paired them up with micro-inverters. So in that situation, each panel has a independent micro-inverter underneath each panel. It monitors each panel as an individual. It increases the efficiency of the system. It produces more power and you don't have as much lag time, I suppose, with your energy efficiency. Phil was trying to expand the size of his system so that he could save more money off his power bills. Phil is quite an educated customer. And he has had solar systems in the past with other residences he's been around, and he understands the difference between buying the quality solar system versus a cheap system.

Lately, we've had a lot of customers informing us that they've had people coming around, just knocking on their door, cold calling. And we've had examples of systems being installed at a very poor quality, at a very high cost. So the reasons for going for a higher quality premium system is because it produces more power. It's more efficient, it has longer warranties, and it's just better. It will save you more money. When we're designing a system for a customer, we look at each house as an individual subject. We look at their roof, their aspect, any trees that might be shading it, any environmental issues, like if there's a really high wind zone we design the racking systems to suit all of those different options, each design is very specific to your house. We customise every one of our solar systems to suit each customer's energy needs and environmental conditions. Be that their house, the environment, the shade, the trees, you name it. We look at it all.
