There are various solar energy systems available. The most appropriate solar system for you all depends on how much you are willing to spend and what you are trying to achieve, both now and in the future.
For example, if you wanted to add more panels later on, did you know you may need a larger inverter now to handle this? So before you install a system, consider a few questions like these:

• What is your current daily usage, and how many panels will you need to meet this usage?
• Consider the size (and cost) of the inverter. If you are able to buy a larger inverter you may be able to add more panels at a later stage.
• Always check the guarantee offered on the system you are installing. Some less expensive systems might not have the same guarantee as other systems on the market.
