What to look for when buying solar solution for your home

Solar energy systems are all the rage nowadays, and with more and more people clamouring to have such systems installed for their homes, it's high time that you get one for your home as well. Aside from the obvious advantages of having a solar energy system installed on your home, it makes sense because Pakistan’s grid problems are too much for consumers, who have to suffer from not only the messed up routine of the electrical companies, but also navigate through the horrendous tariffs. Which is why, in this blog post, we will look at what you should look for when buying solar energy solutions for your home.

Residential solar solutions: factors to look for

Whenever you might be in the market, looking for a residential solar energy system, you can utilise these factors as the testbed for whatever system you do go for. These factors will help you understand what solar energy systems are all about, what really matters in a solar energy solution, and what you should be on the lookout for when in the market for a solar energy system.

1. Energy requirements

The first factor that will influence your decision for choosing solar energy solutions is the energy requirements for your home. Considering that an average household consumes around 10kW of energy, the system output needs to be 10kW, with solar panels to match. For that, you will have to get your load calculated and get a solar solution that matches those requirements. This should be your first and most important criterion for buying solar solution for your home.

2. Efficiency

The second factor is going to be efficiency. With solar panels and solar energy systems in general, efficiency is key: getting the most efficiency is the goal of solar energy systems. Otherwise, why bother with a solar energy system, right? With solar energy solutions, maximum efficiency is around 25 to 30 per cent, so you will need to have a solar energy system that boasts an efficiency of over 25 per cent. While these may come a bit expensive, they will ensure that you get your money’s worth and the return on investment on the system is achieved within a couple of years.

3. Price

Solar energy systems are expensive; not as much as some of the alternatives, but still, the upfront cost for solar energy systems is rather high. As such, many people look for the ideal balance between efficiency and price when buying solar panels for their homes; residential systems that cost a lot are not very popular. Getting solar solutions for your home considering the prices will ensure you get the most bang for your buck.

4. Durability/ loss of power

With solar energy systems, power generation is key. While they are durable enough to withstand extreme temperatures, power generation through linear loss of power over the years is something that you will need to look at, since the system will be powering your home for more than two decades. Usually, this information about durability and linear loss of power comes included with the solar panel, so make sure you research properly while buying solar panels for your solar energy system for your home.

5. Warranty

Finally, the last thing that you need to keep in mind for solar energy solutions is warranty. Since the system and the panels do cost a lot of money, a warranty is one thing that will give you peace of mind, knowing that any manufacturing fault that should affect the solar solution and its many components will be taken care of by the manufacturer. Many manufacturers have warranties of around 10 years, but the best manufacturers will offer warranties of over 10 years. Be sure to check out only those when buying solar energy system for your home.
