Things to keep in mind before buying a Solar System

Why choose TATA POWER SOLAR for solar PV system


Ekam Energy brings you best of Solar Brands after doing all the due diligence about quality and ability of a brand to fulfil its warranty obligations. Warranty of a product is as good as a company behind it.  The mandatory manufacturing warranty of 10 years and performance warranty of 25 years by Government does not mean that all Solar Panels are equal.


All solar panels are not created equal


A solar panel should last for decades. Select a manufacturer you are confident will be around to honor warranties, as well as service commitments.




Choose long-term production over efficiency


Many manufacturers are touting efficiency (rated power per square foot) as the most important feature of a solar panel. However, making a panel more efficient can actually limit its long-term performance, yielding less energy over the life of your system. Some panel manufacturers crowd solar cells together and up against the frame. The result: shading from mounting components, excess accumulation of dirt over the cells, and reduced potential for light capture and energy production.


Why You Shouldn't Buy a Cheap Solar PV System


The best deal is very rarely the cheapest deal. This is something we all understand intuitively. So why are we so easily seduced by unbelievably cheap solar deals that appear so totally believable? 


Cheap solar PV systems are usually cheap in components, as well as price. Poor quality panels also suffer from micro cracks and other cell damage which will quickly decrease the overall efficiency of your solar cells.


Delaminating panels


If substandard plastic/glue is used in your panels, or if poor manufacturing processes are followed, a process called delamination can occur. This refers to the bond between the plastic and glass of your solar panel detaching, allowing moisture and air to enter the panel, causing corrosion and failure.


Many solar panel manufacturers also fabricate efficiency and power tolerance ratings to make their products appear of a higher quality.
