An over- it’s no longer an issue for customer friendly solar from day one. Assuming everyone is modestly rationale and wants cheaper energy, the biggest question is do I own a solar system, or do I let someone else own it for me?

1. Large upfront capital investment

The large upfront investment required when purchasing a solar system makes the initial cost of owning your own system extremely high. An upfront cost can however be avoided, instead of paying for a solar system you just pay for solar energy used with no upfront payment or cost for the system. The energy you pay for is at a cheaper rate than what you are currently being charged, so you start saving money on your bills from day one.

2. Maintenance & insurance costs

The ongoing maintenance required in order for a solar system to operate at optimum capacity is always under- estimated. The cost of maintaining a system on your own can become a costly, admin intensive job. As the system war- ranties begin to void over time so the maintenance costs increase. With a solar services model, the service provider is responsible for the maintenance costs as well as the insurance. These costs are factored into the unit cost for use of the solar system. Once solar panels have been installed on your roof, they begin to gather dirt, dust and even bird faeces which hinders the panel’s performance necessitating periodic cleaning in order to maintain its efficiency. In most cases the solar service provider monitors the system’s performance using an online monitoring tool that allows live tracking of the solar system’s performance at any given time in order to ensure its constantly operating at optimum efficiency. Insuring your solar system also becomes an added cost, should your solar panels or in- verters get damaged due to a fire, hail, lightening or any other unforeseen event, the expense to replace these can become costly. With a solar services model, these issues are of no concern as all systems are insured at the 18 CBN July 2018 POWER SOLUTIONS Power supply for contingency planning WHAT would happen to does happen, we can put tion.
