Not worth the risk.

You may have seen it in the news or on social media. Homes incorrectly wired by unauthorised electricians are burning down. Can you afford to take short cuts and risk having to rebuild your home? If it seems too good to be true, it normally is. Don’t be fooled by “cheap” solar panels, inverters or batteries. Whenever there is a high demand for a product or service, you will find unscrupulous suppliers trying to make a quick buck. These so called “solar experts” make loads of promises, don’t deliver or when they do deliver, it’s an inferior product. Cutting corners with subpar components will result in higher long-term costs due to reduced efficiency, increased maintenance, and potential safety hazards.

When planning your solar solution, always prioritise quality and safety over price. If solar panels, inverters, or wiring are not sized correctly, it can lead to an electrical overload. This can cause wires to heat up and potentially melt, leading to short circuits which could be a fire hazard. Using low quality solar panels, inverters or batteries might save you money upfront, but these components might not have the necessary safety features to prevent overheating or electrical faults. Make sure you work with a reputable and certified supplier and installer. Contact Setsolar for a quotation, we offer financing options to suit your pocket with no upfront payment.

Inverters are critical components that convert the direct current (DC) generated by the solar panels into alternating current (AC). Inferior or subpar inverters might have design flaws or poor-quality components that can lead to overheating, short circuits, and fires. Using low quality or incompatible batteries can lead to thermal runaway (uncontrolled heat generation) and fires. Poorly designed or maintained charge controllers for batteries can result in overcharging or over discharging, causing damage to the batteries and can potentially lead to fires. Use quality products from certified solar suppliers and installers. Contact Setsolar for a reputable tailor-made quotation with finance options.
