Cheap Solar Systems Can Mean Suboptimal Results

| Solar Blog

While it can be tempting to go for a cheaper and seemingly more ‘affordable’ solar system, this can cost you more over time.

Solar is a long-term investment in renewable energy, and cheaper systems can have a number of drawbacks that can reduce your return on that investment.

Here’s what to watch out for:

  • Cheaper systems can be less efficient, meaning they will generate less power for you resulting in higher bills when compared with other systems.
  • They can use materials and components that require more regular maintenance and repair, leading to additional costs.
  • These systems unsurprisingly also tend to have shorter overall lifespans, so may require replacement earlier than other more robust systems.
  • If you are engaging a budget company, there is the risk they may not offer the warranties and level of support or service you require.

It’s not just the less than optimal results to be aware of—it’s also the increased risk of facing extra costs in the future.
