Four Keys in Selecting the Right Solar Panels

May 18 , 2023

SunRa Solar was established to find and offer the best performing solar energy systems which deliver the best value for homeowners. This requires balancing costs and quality. Buying the most expensive and latest, untested technology may deliver better performance, but it frequently does not provide the best value.

Four Areas for Evaluating Solar Panel Manufacturers

Solar panels are the heart of the solar energy system and make up a significant portion of the expense. Here’s some insight into how SunRa Solar finds the right solar panels for you:

Solar Panel Efficiency

The efficiency of a solar panel is the amount of sunlight it can convert into electricity. Higher efficiency solar panels tend to be more expensive, but they can generate more electricity, which can lead to greater long-term savings. We calculate the best compromise of efficiency and total system output each time we conduct one or more design options for every customer.

Solar Panel Durability

A good quality solar panel should be able to withstand harsh weather conditions and last for many years without needing repairs or replacements. We analyze the materials used in the construction of the solar panel, as well as the warranty provided by the manufacturer. Manufacturer confidence in their product and history of support is vital.

Solar Panel Brand Reputation

When choosing a solar panel, we examine the reputation of the brand. Beyond reviews from other customers, we look at service history. Low service requests are a sign of quality, but there will always be issues due to the unpredictability of nature when continuously exposed to the elements. Reputable brands will have a record of putting the customer first, with speedy responses and remedies, if needed.

Solar Energy System Design

Choosing the right solar panel suppliers is important. However, there are other factors that should be addressed to get the most value and greatest savings. To balance cost and quality, it’s important to evaluate your individual needs and to consider options that best meet your budget. A complex combination of your home’s roof design, your daily and long term electricity needs, your location, and the surrounding environment have to be considered.

Be careful if simply presented with a price per watt. It generally does not tell the full story. SunRa Solar goes to great lengths to use good, high value products as mentioned. More importantly, we calculate your total cost AND show you the predicted savings for each option highlighting everything that impacts or improves the return on your investment. You can see every aspect of your investment.
