What You Need to Know Before Solar Installation

 

What You Need to Know Before Solar Installation

Switching to solar energy is an exciting and transformative decision. However, before you invest in a solar installation for your home or business, it’s important to understand the key factors that will impact your system’s performance and longevity. At Garblex Home Solutions, we’re here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring that you make an informed decision that meets your energy needs.

1. Assess Your Energy Needs

Before installation, evaluate your current energy consumption:

  • Review Your Bills: Analyze your electricity bills to determine your average usage. This helps in designing a solar system that meets your power requirements.

  • Future Needs: Consider potential changes, such as adding new appliances or expanding your business, which could affect your energy consumption.

Learn more about our consultation process on our Services page.

2. Evaluate Your Property’s Solar Potential

Not every property is ideal for solar panels. Key factors include:

  • Roof Orientation and Angle: The optimal roof direction is generally north-facing in Kenya, with an angle that maximizes sun exposure.

  • Shading: Trees, neighboring buildings, or other obstructions can reduce the system’s efficiency. An on-site evaluation is critical.

  • Roof Condition: Ensure your roof is in good condition, as solar panels have a lifespan of 25 years or more.

For a personalized assessment, schedule a free consultation via our Contact page.

3. Understand the Financial Aspects

Going solar is a long-term investment:

  • Initial Costs: Be aware of the upfront costs for equipment and installation. Although prices have decreased over the years, budgeting is essential.

  • Savings Over Time: Calculate your expected savings on electricity bills over the system’s lifetime. Financial incentives and potential subsidies can also help reduce costs.

  • Financing Options: Explore financing methods such as loans, leasing, or power purchase agreements (PPAs).

Quality matters when it comes to solar installations:

  • Equipment Quality: Ensure that you’re using high-quality panels and inverters that come with solid warranties.

  • Installation Expertise: Choose experienced and certified professionals to install your system. At Garblex, we guarantee our work in writing, offering peace of mind and long-term performance.

  • Maintenance Requirements: Understand the maintenance needs to keep your system running efficiently. Regular check-ups and cleaning are part of ensuring longevity.

5. Regulatory and Permit Considerations

Compliance with local regulations is critical:

  • Permitting: Check with local authorities regarding permits needed for installation. Our experts at Garblex will help navigate these requirements.

  • Grid Connection: If you plan to be grid-tied, understand the process for connecting to the national grid and any associated fees or requirements.

6. The Environmental Impact

Solar energy is not just a cost-saving measure—it’s also an eco-friendly choice:

  • Carbon Footprint: By choosing solar, you reduce your reliance on fossil fuels and lower your overall carbon emissions.

  • Sustainable Future: Investing in renewable energy contributes to a healthier environment for future generations.
