What are solar panel kits?

A solar panel kit is basically a solar panel bundled with the essentials you’ll need to assemble and run your solar energy system. They are a dream come true for newbies looking to switch to renewable energy as they cut out the expensive middle man and allow for DIY installation. Ready-to-install high power (kW) on-grid kits available for houses & homes (and other large solar energy projects). The kits contain everything you need including solar panels, the inverter and mounting brackets.

Why are solar panels important?

Let’s explore the various reasons why you should install solar panels. Eco-friendly: Solar panels do not require anything to generate electricity except natural sunlight in an attempt to generate power. Without releasing any deadly gases, they are indeed a source of renewable energy. Long-Lasting initiative: Installing solar panels is a sensible move. Once installed, the solar panels last for more than 20 years. If maintained well, they have lasted for more than 40 years as well. Installation of Solar panels: Though there are people who have installed solar panels on their own, getting installers to do the same is recommended. Ideally, an electrical license is required as there is work related to electrical wiring. Therefore getting it done is much simpler. Electricity Bills: Solar panels do reduce electricity costs. Yet, you must realise, the type of shed installation we are talking about can only reduce your electricity bills, not eliminate them. With present scenarios where electrical items are used in plenty, you cannot expect solar to pitch in to replace electricity completely. It just reduces them to a considerable extent if installed adequately.

Solar Kit Buying Considerations

After discussing the benefits of solar panels kits for sheds, it is imperative to know what to observe when you buy them. There are certain aspects of the product to be kept in mind.

• Size of the panel: Most sheds at houses are small. Considering the smallest size panel measures about 14-15 square feet, you need to buy as per the shed area and how many would fit comfortably. Hence, it’s the first basic criteria.
• The shape of the roof: With solar panels, it is important to check the shape of the roof. The water needs an outlet during rains as the racking and wire harness may obstruct water flow. Hence careful planning is required. It is therefore advisable to take the help of contractors and installers.
• Cost and Quality of panels: For solar panels that are helping you to decrease your requirements for power, quality is highly important. You may not consider the cheapest ones, as shoddy Quality will not be durable.
• Warranty and Maintenance: Mostly, all solar panels require a product warranty and installation warranty. While buying a solar panel, do go in for a product that offers these. Since solar panels need regular maintenance, too, this is an important consideration.
