Great Advice For Getting A Deal On Your Solar Panel System 

The solar revolution is in full swing.  The phone calls from energy sales companies are coming in at a high volume.  It can seem that the options and cost lists are endless. And, those who are new to the residential solar market can feel bewildered by all the choices out there. It is also easy for them to get a lousy deal on solar panels if they do not shop around. Here are three tips so someone new to the solar market will be able to get what they want at a price they can afford. 
 

Save 10 Percent On Your Purchases By Seeking Out Options On Solar

Large purchases such as shopping for a solar panel installation takes a lot of investigation and consideration, including a thorough review of the companies in your area. A recent report by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) recommended that consumers compare as many solar options as possible to avoid paying inflated prices offered by the large installers in the solar industry. Smaller local installers are also employed by people who live in the area and take pride in their work.

Seeking contractors that typically offer lower prices, you’ll need to use an installer network like HahaSmart. You can receive free quotes from vetted installers local to you when you register your property on our Price Checker Tool – homeowners who get 3 or more quotes can expect to save $5,000 to $10,000 on their solar panel installation.
 

Big Isn't Always Better In The Solar Market

Going big isn't always going best.  This is one of the main reasons we strongly encourage homeowners to consider all of their solar options, not just the brands large enough to pay for the most advertising. A recent report by the U.S. government found that large installers are $2,000 to $5,000 more expensive than small solar companies. If you have offers from some of the high-scale installers in solar, make sure you compare those bids with quotes from local installers to ensure you don’t overpay for solar.
 

Make Solare Equipment Comparisons For The Best Deals

Top-tier installers don’t only offer higher prices – they also tend to have fewer solar equipment options, which can have a significant impact on your system’s electricity production. By collecting a diverse array of solar bids, you can compare costs and savings based on the different equipment packages available to you.

Many options are considered when seeking out the best solar panels on the market. While specific panels will have higher efficiency ratings than others, investing in top-of-the-line solar equipment doesn’t always result in higher savings. The only way to find the “sweet spot” for your property is to evaluate quotes with varying equipment and financing offers.
