Why should you choose a high quality solar panel from a reputable local installer?
Synopsis
Investing in a solar panel is not about being quick and cheap, but about getting the best quality for your money. The panel has a guaranteed life of 25 years, making it a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to save money in the long run. A lot of research went into selecting the panel, and the final decision was based on a research document produced by Choice in partnership with CSRO. Choosing the best panel is crucial, and paying for quality is worth it.
When selecting an installer, it is essential to choose someone who is local and can fix any problems straight away. The installer in this case was chosen because they are based in the same town as the customer and can respond quickly to any issues. The importance of having a local installer was further emphasised by a metallurgist friend of the customer who also had the same panels installed. The installer provided excellent service and kept the customer informed, even when they were away and had their internet turned off.

I don't think investing in a panel is setting you back, quick and cheap. It's about what's the best. If you going to have something you want it to last, and this has got a guarantee life of 25 years. So I think getting the best possible panel, is what everyone should do. Well I did a lot of research. There is choice, put out a wonderful research document, which had been done with the CSRO for 12 months. And they had a numerous amount of panels. And that was one of the reasons we got, in fact that was the major reason we got the panel. So that's why we did it. No other reason. It was the best, you paid for it, sure. But it works. And it works well.
I did about three months of research, and I also spoke to one of my friends who's the metallurgist and he agreed with me, and in fact, he's got the same panels on his roof. so it wasn't going to choose a cheap panel, I was going to choose the best panel. The person who put the solar panels in, lived in town here. The main reason was, I think everyone forgets is that, if you have a problem, you want it fixed quickly. And if you want to fix quickly, you want people who are in your area, who work with the people who produce the stuff or put it together, and you need to get them to come and fix the problem straight away. And the guy here, Josh is an incredible worker, done a great job on the roof. And he lets me know, even when we were away and I'd turn my internet off, he told me if something's wrong with your panel I said, No, I've just turned my internet off. And he said, Well, okay, fine. Now, we've got that.
But I had an option of, three installers that I was looking at. Two of them were, one was interstate, one was up in Sydney. Now, if I had a problem, How long was going to take me to get it fixed. Here the installer is available straight away. So it's really important that you get an installer, who lives near you or around the area.
