Bad Solar Installs

Installing a solar panel system is a significant investment for most homeowners or commercial property owners. Not only is it a financial investment, but it’s also an investment in the future of our planet. Unfortunately, some solar installation teams may not have the necessary skills, experience, or equipment to install solar panels correctly, leading to bad solar installs.

In this article, we’ll explore some scenarios homeowners may face if they work with an unqualified/shady solar installation team.

Bad Solar Installs – Common Issues

  • Roof leaks/damage

One of the most common issues homeowners face with bad solar installs is roof leaks. When a solar panel system is installed on a roof, it’s essential to ensure that the roof is in good condition and that the installation team takes the necessary precautions to avoid damage. However, a poorly installed system can cause leaks and water damage, leading to costly repairs for the homeowner. 

The solar installation team and the project manager must ensure that the property/roof is structurally sound and can withstand the weight of the panels and equipment that will be installed. If a thorough inspection is not completed and the company rushes the process, major structural problems can present themselves. 

  • A lack of insurance coverage

Suppose the installation team does not have insurance coverage. In that case, the homeowner may be liable for any damage to their property during the installation or, even worse, for any injuries sustained by a crew member. 

  • Electrical complications

Electrical damage is another potential issue with bad solar installs. The installation team must ensure that the electrical wiring is correctly installed and meets all necessary safety requirements. If a system is not installed properly and doesn’t meet electrical requirements/regulations, it can cause damage to the home’s electrical system and even cause accidental fires. 

It’s Not Worth The Risks

The best way to avoid these nightmare scenarios is to work with a reputable, experienced solar installation team. It’s essential to do your research and ensure that the installation team you’re working with has the necessary skills and experience not to put any property or person at risk. Don’t be afraid to ask for references and check them thoroughly before making a final decision.
