If you have been thinking about installing solar panels, that is a wise idea. Solar energy is only growing into the new millennium and with all the advancements in the technology growing by leaps and bounds; you’d be a fool not to invest in this energy. However even for the handiest among us there are many reasons why you should have your solar panels professionally installed. For the skeptics among you here are five reasons why DIY solar panels are a bad idea.
Personal Safety: Maybe first and foremost for reasons why DIY solar panels don't make much sense is personal safety. You are your most valuable asset and doing work on the roof of your home with these large instruments doesn't make much sense. You don't have the training and you don't have the equipment to make DIY solar panels make any sense at all.
Panel Safety: You also don't want to damage these very expensive solar panels. If you buy solar panels direct with the intention of installing them yourself you basically waive any rights you have to having the panels fixed if something goes wrong before, during or after installation. We'd like to think we are all Superman but your panel provider won't think twice about denying your request for a refund on an uninsured installation.
Correct Installation: You also want to be sure that you are getting the correct installation on your solar panels. These need to be catered to the specific, optimized placement wherever they are installed. If you aren't getting the most out of your solar panels it doesn't make much sense to install them yourself. In fact the money you 'd spend on installation could be lost in a very short period of time for incorrect installation.
Damage House: You also could damage your house. This is something that is real and you should be aware of. Imagine if you put your panels on incorrectly in the DIY setting and then they fell through your roof? Onto one of your children, your spouse, or yourself? Damaging your home even if it were empty is a horrible complication from DIY solar panel installation.
Lawbreaker: A fifth reason why DIY solar panels don't make any sense is that you could be breaking the law. Unless you are a licensed electrician you can't connect the wiring for your installation.
Electricity consumption is constantly rising and that is only going to mean more blackouts, higher costs, and greater duress. So solar energy is the wave of the future and it’s happening now. Even with that evidence, as you can see above, DIY solar panels don’t make much sense at all. You could hurt yourself, you could hurt your house you could hurt your family, you could damage your panels, and you even could be breaking the law.
