Do You Know You Are Overpaying for Installation?

When you start to think about going solar, what's your first option? The first option that comes to your mind is a turnkey installation from a national provider. They offer an all-in-one solution to design your system, source your parts and install it for you. It is convenient and you can't beat it, but you also pay a premium price for the catered experience.

Turnkey solar solutions will cost an additional 100%-200% of the cost of equipment to install. For a system worth ten thousand dollars in equipment, they might charge another twenty thousand dollars to install it. Big solar installers need to charge the premium to cover advertising, office rent, insurance, labor, marketing, and other expenses required to run their business on a national scale.

So, could you save money and how to save money?

You can save money when you DIY and or use local contractors, such as local solar professionals, roofers, and electricians.

Actually, many people don't realize that you can buy a package solar system from a wholesale distributor and install it yourself. You can also work with a local contractor which can save you a lot of money if you are willing to organize the project and take on some of the easy tasks. If you do choose to take on the project yourself, we also recommend getting multiple quotes before you choose the one that you're comfortable with. It has changed quite a broad range of rates in the contract depending on its specialty as well as the complexity of the project. Even a rate difference of twenty-five cents per watt can change the bid by a couple of thousand dollars. It’s smart to compare quotes from local installers and make sure you're getting a fair bid.

We are mainly engaged in the remote monitoring system. The solar power remote monitoring system developed by our company could help customers to monitor power generation in real-time. Clearly let you know how much cost you saved, you much money you earned, and how much power you generated, and you can control your solar system in one dashboard.
