Utility bills alone cannot be relied on to accurately gauge the performance of your residential solar panels. Solar Panel Warranties are a great way to protect your solar panels and ensure you are covered should anything go wrong with your panels. Getting a 25-year warranty package will protect you for years. With so many home maintenance costs creeping up and bleeding your bank account, this type of warranty gives you the security of knowing you will not have any unplanned expenses for your solar panels.
Ideally, you will also get a production guarantee from your solar panel installer, which will ensure that all production requirements are met. In most cases, the warranty would not include problems stemming from the installation of the solar panels, so a guarantee from the installer can be just as important as the warranty.
Save Money Monitoring your Residential Solar Panels
If you have decided to use solar panels on your home, you have already decided to save money. But, have you decided to make your residential solar panels as cost-efficient as possible? Identifying production issues with your solar panels early on can help save you money in the long run. If your panels were not installed correctly or if they are not working effectively, they can end up causing you more money in the long run than if you were not using them at all.
How a Monitoring System can Help
Let a monitoring system do the work for you, as you can set it up and keep track of every aspect of your solar panels’ production. With a monitoring system, you can easily monitor the measurements of these key components of your solar panel system:
-
Energy consumption
-
Solar electricity production
-
Grid Imports
-
Grid Exports
-
Home battery charge and discharge power
Solar panels should not be treated the same as a regular energy source. If you are in the habit of just paying an electric bill and never analyzing it, then when you switch to residential solar panels you might not be optimizing their efficiency. You should periodically check the information your monitoring system provides you to ensure that your solar panels are working optimally. Purchasing solar panels was a conscientious decision you made to make your home more efficient; make sure you are monitoring the panels to make sure they are indeed giving you maximum efficiency.
