☀️ Thinking about solar? Start here.
Getting a solar quote isn't just about choosing the biggest system or the lowest price.
Before you compare quotes, there are a few things worth understanding:
1️⃣ Your energy usage matters
Your electricity consumption helps determine what size system may suit your home.
2️⃣ Your roof matters 🏠
Roof direction, shading, roof type, and available space can all affect your solar design.
3️⃣ Solar and batteries are different 🔋
You don't automatically need a battery. It depends on how your home uses energy, particularly during the evening and overnight.
4️⃣ Look beyond the upfront price 💰
Compare the equipment, installation, warranties, monitoring, inclusions, and overall system design.
5️⃣ Choose the installer carefully 👷
A good solar system is about more than the panels. Quality installation, appropriate equipment, and ongoing support all matter.
At SLM Solar, we believe you should understand what you're buying before you make a decision.
