Residential Solar Supplier Houston TX

The solar market in USA is flooded with ‘cheap solar’ again; 5kW-6.6kW solar systems being sold for less than $4000. This is making it difficult to decide on the best solar panels for your home and how much to outlay for a good quality system that will perform as expected at residential solar supplier Houston TX.

The largest solar installer in USA in 2017 was renowned for selling cheap solar systems, and it came as no surprise to us when they recently went into liquidation. They join nearly 1000 installers in the last few years that have now left the industry. As many industry insiders say, the warranties that come with these systems aren’t worth the paper they are written on.

The strange thing is, most people know all about the dangers of buying a cheap solar system. The entire industry often gets a bad wrap because of the reliability issues with these systems. From faulty components to dodgy installations and non-existent service. There are thousands of horror stories posted online, and we get dozens of calls a week from people trying to get their system back online after people give up on trying to get help from their original installer.

We aren’t exaggerating when we say how important it is to avoid cheaper system, the Clean Energy Council recently came out with their findings that an incredible 1 in 5 systems they inspected in 2017 were dodgy – they failed inspection. You can read more about that here: 1 in 4 solar systems are faulty.

If you were going to buy a new television, you would walk into the store knowing that the cheapest model in the shop is probably not going to be the best value. It would be too small, low quality and deep down you know there is a higher chance of the thing breaking within a year or two.

But what if you were mounting the television onto your roof? Out in the weather, baking hot in the summer and exposed to furious winds at least a few times a year. Over 25 years it will need to work perfectly for over 100,000 hours at residential solar supplier Houston TX.

Everyone understands the basic reasons why the price of televisions varies so much, and yet when it comes to solar power so many of us go hunting for the cheapest quote we can find. Every day I hear people saying, “yes, you have good reviews, your system sounds great (etc.), but I have a quote here for the same system that is $1,500 cheaper…”

Furthermore, it requires a team of skilled installers to spend all day on your roof installing a mounting kit, running high voltage cables and completing an electrical job. It’s also nice when they clean up after themselves.

Once you're signed informed a internet metering program, your utility company will have a smart meter installed known as a Time of Use Meter, which will actually run backwards when you are producing excess power.
