If you're thinking about installing solar for your home, you might also be thinking about doing it yourself with the idea of saving money on the installation. While cutting costs can be a great idea, solar panel installation isn't the place where you want to do that. Its never a good idea to install a solar system yourself. Here are just a few of the biggest reasons why you should leave this job to the pros.
To install solar panels you'll have to get up on your roof, move and carry heavy items, and work with electricity. Any one of those things can put you at risk, and doing all three of them at once is a recipe for disaster. Even with electrical or construction experience there are a lot of fine details that go into preparing a solar system and installing it properly. Improper installation can also be a fire hazard, since using the wrong materials can stop heat from dissipating properly.
For federal and most state tax incentives and other financial breaks you need to have your system installed by licensed professionals. That means doing it yourself isn't going to give you that level of savings. It's not like many other types of home improvements where you can get a permit, do it yourself, and just have it inspected afterward.
Roof damage is a real possibility during a DIY solar panel install, and professionals know how to get everything in place without causing harm. Don't put your roof at risk when you can let a licensed solar company install your panels with ease.
Along with the above-mentioned risks you can also shorten the lifespan of your panels and stop them from working as efficiently as they should. The goal is to get the biggest value from your new solar system, and that can be accomplished much more easily when you let the professionals handle setup and installation. Then, you can use your new solar panels with confidence, safety, and the joy of lower energy bills.
