Quality equals longevity

While the prospect of a solar system for as low as $3,000 – $4,000 may seem enticing, beware of the hidden costs and long-term headaches that come with these seemingly cost-effective options. In reality, a family-sized solar PV system can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $8,000 or more, and adding a battery can double the cost.

Be wary of solar products claiming 15 or 25-year warranties. It’s unrealistic for manufacturers to sell long-lasting products at minimal profit and maintain warranty support teams for decades. The reality is that cheap solar products often fail after just a few years, leaving customers with an “Orphan System” that requires full replacement due to poor quality and installation methods. As the saying goes, “Buy cheap, buy twice.”

Instead, opt for a local company like us at New England Solar Power that prioritises quality equipment and installation. While the initial investment may be higher, you’ll enjoy substantial power bill savings for decades to come, while also reducing your carbon footprint. Don’t compromise on quality – choose a reliable and sustainable solar solution for your home.

Be cautious of solar PV systems advertised with enticing headlines and unusually low prices. While the initial offer may seem like a bargain, it can lead to a costly and frustrating experience.

These companies often use low-quality panels and inverters, accompanied by lengthy but essentially worthless warranties. This can result in a failed PV system, leaving you with countless hours of chasing the supplier and unnecessary stress.

The initial low price is often a ploy to grab your attention, followed by upselling to a more expensive package. What starts as a $4,000 investment can quickly balloon to a $12,000 package, still equipped with budget components.

Some companies may also offer finance options at inflated prices, taking advantage of unsuspecting customers.

This tactic is a common strategy for some solar sales companies to maximise their profits. Don’t fall prey to false economy – prioritise quality and transparency in your solar PV system investment.

Making the switch to solar energy offers a multitude of advantages, including lower electricity bills, increased property value, greater energy independence, and a reduced carbon footprint.

While the initial cost may give some pause, it’s essential to recognise that the long-term benefits of a high-quality and efficient solar system greatly surpass the upfront investment.

Be cautious of seemingly affordable options that may prove to be false economy, leading to costly problems and headaches in the future.
