5. Safety Features Modern inverters include various safety features such as anti-islanding protection, overvoltage protection, and short-circuit protection, ensuring that the system operates safely and efficiently.
Factory direct solar panels are solar energy systems that are sold directly from the manufacturer to consumers, bypassing the typical middlemen involved in the retail process. This direct approach can lead to significant cost savings for consumers. By eliminating the added markup that often comes with purchasing through third-party distributors or retailers, manufacturers can pass these savings onto their customers. This direct-to-consumer model not only lowers the price of solar panels but also allows for greater transparency in pricing and product specifications.
4. Local Regulations Check local regulations and zoning laws related to solar energy systems. Some areas have restrictions that may affect your ability to install solar panels, including permitting requirements and homeowner association rules.
5. Inverter Specifications The type of inverter required for the system also influences panel size. Ensure that the inverter can handle the wattage produced by the solar panels chosen.
