Cost is one thing that keeps you from going solar. After spending time researching the best sustainable option for your home, you might as well agree with me that a rooftop installation is the most cost-effective. Home solar offers many benefits: energy savings, environmental protection, and security. Imagine how you’d feel if, after purchasing a rooftop solar system that costs a lot of money, your provider botched the installation.
The savings on your electricity bills should allow you to pay for a roof-mounted solar system in just a few short years. Your solar system will not work if it is not properly installed. This is what happened to a buyer in Delhi, and the results were not pretty.
The panels were first installed in an area of the roof which was always in the shade. (I guess it was the best place to work). The whole purpose of the solar installation was ruined from the start.
The panels are mounted on a rudimentary metal frame that is fixed to the roof with cement mortar and bricks. As you can see from the photo above, it’s not a pretty sight. It is not safe either, as the installation angle near the wall can cause air pressure to build under the panels in windy weather, causing damage. If there’s a storm (if you understand what we mean), the panels could even blow away. The wiring, or lack of it, leaves the entire setup exposed to outdoor weather elements. The plastic pipe covers used to protect the wiring are of low quality and more intended to hide the tracks than to provide real protection.
This type of service will not only reduce the efficiency of your rooftop solar system, but it can also trap you in a never-ending cycle of repairs and maintenance. You may even fail to realize that the problem is with the installation rather than the system. This is why it’s important to trust a reputable brand when you invest in expensive technology solutions like rooftop solar.
