Home solar problems can emerge when installations are poorly planned or executed. At AES Installer Company, we emphasize the importance of thorough site assessments and selecting reputable installers to avoid issues such as roof damage, inefficient energy production, and neglected permitting. Addressing these factors early ensures your solar system performs optimally and saves money in the long term.
The most common home solar problems begin before installation. Skipping an on-site assessment often leads to poor system designs that fail to account for obstructions like chimneys, vents, or nearby trees. These oversights can significantly reduce energy production. Additionally, failing to verify roof compatibility may result in damage, leaks, or higher maintenance costs. Roof types such as asphalt shingles are straightforward to work with, but tile roofs require specialized care.
Permitting and insurance are other critical factors. Without proper permits, your installation could face fines or even removal. Moreover, failing to update your homeowner’s insurance to cover the new solar panels might leave your system unprotected against damages. Reliable installers ensure compliance with local regulations and help you update your policy, offering peace of mind.
Maintenance plays a pivotal role in preventing energy losses. Dirt, shading from trees, and damaged components like inverters can decrease system efficiency by up to 25%. Regular cleaning, trimming overhanging branches, and monitoring system performance are essential to protect your investment.
Choosing standard, widely available solar panels can also help avoid issues with repairs or replacements. Non-standard panels may offer limited warranties and complicate future maintenance. Working with a trusted installer ensures you receive high-quality equipment and service.
By addressing these common challenges, homeowners can prevent costly repairs and delays in their solar energy payback period. At AES Installer Company, we’re committed to guiding you through every step of your solar journey, from planning to long-term maintenance.
