Why do reputable solar installers choose to use higher quality solar power system products?
Synopsis
Solar panels have a greater return on investment in the long-term, beyond the usual five-year period. They are more efficient and productive, outperforming cheaper options. It is crucial to choose a high-quality product and installation to avoid horror stories of solar fires and system failures, leading to unexpected high electricity bills.
Investing in solar panels not only pays for itself but also generates profits over a more extended period. However, choosing an inferior product or installation can lead to significant risks and financial loss.

They actually have a greater return on investment over the long-term. So not just within the five years where they generally you get your return on investment and your paybacks done. But into your 10 year, 20 year time frames, your 30 year time frames, it becomes a positive investment. They also then have a greater efficiency and they produce more over the time. So if you're looking at the actual facts and figures on the products, and you're having a look at their outputs over that time, or their efficiencies of production, they are just absolutely beating the cheaper options that are out there. So, that's where you really want to create that return on investment.
It's not just the time frame that it takes to pay for itself, it's actually the money it's going to make you over the longer period. Unfortunately if you're choosing some inferior product, or the install is not up to standard or above standard, in a lot of cases, we do see horror stories out there. And people are aware of the horror stories because the media are certainly gotten hold of that and run with that. Unfortunately they can lead to solar fires, they can lead to systems failing and not producing, and you won't find out until it appears on your electricity bill. So if your system hasn't been working for the last three months, and you get an electricity bill that is a lot higher than what you were anticipating or what you're used to, that's another bill shock there. So you might have had your solar system installed for a period of time and you're used to having low bills, and then all of a sudden you get a big bill that might be $700 more than what you were anticipating. You have to factor for that as well.
