Why DIY Solar Panels are Poor Investment

DIY or do it yourself projects are really fun, engaging and self-gratifying, especially when you have finished the project. However there are some projects that should just be left to the professionals and this is especially true when it involves electricity and the safety of your home and your family.

DIY solar panels are hazardous because there will no quality check performed which is very concerning with something you will be installing directly into your homes electricals. Any minute short circuit, over load or any problem of any nature could have severe repercussions. Moreover a solar panel system that is not installed by a professional (even if they are commercially bought) is highly unlikely to perform to its rated KWh output, which menus you will be losing money every day from its lowered energy output. The key elements in wielding the technology’s benefits are certified system components and certified installers who understand the science of correct solar system design.

Also, another reason why installing a DIY solar panel will actually cost you money is that you will not be qualified to receive any solar bonuses and or connect to a Feed in Tariff schemes without certified components installed by registered and certified installers.Also unless you are an expert in solar PV you will unsure whether the panels and inverter that you choose are compatible, and suitable to deliver enough solar power into your meter box every day to reduce your energy bills significantly.

All in all we can say that the efforts to purchase DIY solar panels to save money would be just futile!
If you really want to take part in the global fight against carbon and make big cuts to your electric bills it is best by far to have quality panels installed by a professional. Solar panels are a large purchase and a long term purchase, and short term thinking is false economy.

A home will greatly benefit from a solar pv system from the feed in tariff or a scheme that will allow you to connect and export electricity to the state grid and they will pay you a fair market value. Businesses and homes can also utilise this for an extra stream of income.

Installing a certified and qualified solar panel system onto your home is a wise investmentwhich if done correctly can free your family from rising electricity costs. It is also the only form of home improvement that actually is capable of earning you income, and will add at least your sale price in value tour home as well.

It’s no wonder that with the current economic trends, renewable energy sources are considered as a really solid low risk investment with guaranteed returns
