If you are considering a solar panel system for your home, you are likely to have a few questions regarding the best choice when it comes to the variety of brands available. Here at Superior Solar, we want to help, and will take a comparative look at the top two manufacturers' solar panel system and see which product comes out on top in terms of value, efficiency, and affordability. Let's take a look at how Heliocol Solar Panels compare with Fafco Solar Panels and which product is the best choice for you and your family.
Better Performance
With Heliocol HC Solar Panels, you are going to get approximately 4% more energy per day compared to Fafco Sunsaver Panels. This means you will be enjoying just over 3,000 more Btu's on average which gives you more heat per day than the Fafco system.
Virtually Maintenance Free
Heliocol Solar Panels are made entirely of a durable, medical grade plastic, including the panels themselves as well as all clamps and other internal parts in this system. What this means for you is that you won't have to worry about costly periodic maintenance services to tighten any metal clamps, replacement of deteriorating radiator style hoses that are commonly used in the Fafco system, or unsightly stains on your home's roof as you would with the Fafco system of solar panels.
Worry Free Warranty
As we all know, things can sometimes go awry with any product, Heliocol provides a worry free advantage over Fafco products by including all panels, labor AND parts for 12 years in their warranty as well as giving a limited lifetime warranty. The competitor only guarantees panels and labor, which means you will have to personally cover the cost of any parts that may need replacing. Considering the materials used in the Fafco system, including radiator style hoses which are prone to deteriorating after some time, as well as metal clamps and nylon straps used to anchor the system, you can be all but certain this costly expense is looming in your distant future.
Flexibility
Esthetics are important when it comes to your home, and Heliocol understands that concept. This company offers consumers three colors to better match your roofing color, including black, terra cotta, and grey, which gives you more flexibility to blend the system seamlessly with your roof. Fafco only offers black as a solar panel color option, which isn't very flexible in any book.
Less Damage to Existing Structures
Fafco solar panel systems require unsightly straps to anchor the panels to the roof in order to accommodate high wind conditions, which we know is a common condition here in Florida. What this means for you is that there will be more penetrations in your roof to accommodate these straps, leaving room for potential leaks and other issues. Heliocol has perfected and patented a unique design and mounting system that doesn't require any straps in order to withstand high wind conditions. This includes hurricane force winds, which can also cause damage to your roof by lifting the panels, but again, this is not something you have to worry about with Heliocol's open tube design which eliminates lift.
It's easy to see why Heliocol Solar Panel Systems prove superior to all other competitors. Here at Superior Solar, we specialize in Heliocol products and are eager to show you why this is an investment for your home that you simply can't afford to pass up.
