Hire a Professional Solar Installer for These 6 Reasons

Hire a Professional Solar Installer for These 6 Reasons

Do you require the services of a solar installer? Or are you able to complete the task on your own?

Going the DIY path may appear to be a good option — after all, your rooftop solar project will be less expensive if you don't have to hire a photovoltaic contractor. You might be able to handle the work if you have the proper talents.

Hiring a professional photovoltaic contractor, on the other hand, is a more feasible option for the average homeowner. Why?

General Security

How much time have you spent on rooftops and ladders? Climbing and descending a ladder, transporting big solar panels and racks, and wandering around on a slanted surface high above the earth can all be hazardous.

Rather than risk an accident, it's better to hire a skilled solar installer.

Electrical Protection

Are you an electrician with a valid license? If this is the case, you should think twice about completing your own rooftop solar installation.

If you are not a registered electrician with the correct qualifications, then the system will be illegal and negate any insurance you may have for instance. Even if you do have the qualifications, then a mistake could be a very expensive one.

Equipment with a Unique Function

You may have a tool shed or a home workshop full of tools, but you are unlikely to have all of the necessary equipment to finish a rooftop solar installation.

You'll need more than just a ladder and a power drill, and some of the gear you'll need isn’t inexpensive. A professional solar installer is equipped with the necessary tools and equipment to complete the operation.

Training and Experience

When you view footage of experienced installers at work, it appears like installing a solar system is simple and straightforward. This is due to their significant training and experience, though. In actuality, for the average homeowner, planning and installing an effective rooftop solar power system may be quite difficult.

Warranty Protection

Photovoltaic panels of high quality usually come with a 25-year warranty. However, if you install them yourself, the warranty may be voided. Only modules installed by a qualified and authorized solar installer are covered by the manufacturers.

Resale Value of a House

Photovoltaic-powered homes sell faster and for more money than comparable properties without solar panels on the roof. However, these advantages apply only to properly installed systems; assessors and property buyers may have difficulties determining the quality of your work if you do it yourself.
