Common Mistakes.
Learn from others' experiences to make the right choice.
Choosing the cheapest option
Impact
Low-quality panels degrade faster, reducing ROI
Solution
Invest in Tier-1 modules with proven track record
Ignoring roof condition
Impact
Structural issues can delay installation or cause damage
Solution
Conduct thorough roof inspection before purchase
Oversizing or undersizing the system
Impact
Wasted investment or insufficient power generation
Solution
Use professional load analysis and future expansion planning
Not verifying installer credentials
Impact
Poor installation leads to safety hazards and low efficiency
Solution
Check NABCP certification and customer reviews
Skipping net metering setup
Impact
Missing opportunity to sell excess power back to grid
Solution
Complete net metering application before installation
Neglecting maintenance planning
Impact
Dust and debris reduce efficiency by 15-20% annually
Solution
Schedule regular cleaning and annual maintenance checks
