A. No Moving Parts
Buy a car, boat, or home, and it comes with a lot of moving parts – parts that can break. Whether your car needs an oil change, your boat requires hull repairs, or your home’s plumbing has problems, there’s always something to fix with systems that move. That’s not the case with a solar panel system. It’s completely static, so it never moves. Solar maintenance and repairs are few and far between, which translates to savings for you.
The only “maintenance” you may need to do now and then is a spot check. For instance, if there’s debris on your solar panels, spraying it off with a hose is usually a quick fix. Otherwise, the panels provide consistent performance while you enjoy peace of mind that comes with am incredibly easy-to-maintain system.
B. A Well-Built System with High-Quality Products
Have you ever hired a contractor for a project, but you had to call them back to repair a mistake? It’s a common occurrence when homeowners use unqualified or inexperienced contractors. The same is true if an inferior product is used for a project. In a short time, the system will fail and require repairs.
