Why should I hire solar panel installers?

A solar panel installation contractor will be able to install home solar panels that will produce energy to power either your electricity (solar PV) or your hot water (solar water heating system). After the installation costs, you won’t need to pay for the energy you use as you are, in effect, producing it yourself. And even better, if you produce more energy than you need and feed it back to the national grid, then you could receive money from the government’s Feed-In Tariffs (FITs). What’s more, solar energy is a renewable energy that will last longer and be more environmentally friendly than traditional energies such as coal, oil and gas. All the more reason to talk to Charleston, SC solar panel companies and hire Charleston, SC solar panel installers to fit them for you.

What types of solar panels are available?

There are three main types of solar panel PV (photovoltaic) panels that can generate electricity for your home: monocrystalline, polycrystalline and hybrid. The basic monocrystalline celled panels are fairly efficient but will be more expensive than polycrystalline, which are a little cheaper. Hybrid panels use crystalline cells with a thin layer of film which attracts more energy. This makes hybrid models the most efficient solar panel installations, but also the most expensive.
