Major Mistakes to Avoid When Choosing a Solar System.
1. Not calculating your load – Guessing inverter size leads to overload and fast battery drain.
2. Wrong battery type or size – Cheap or small batteries don’t last; always check capacity (kWh) and depth of discharge.
3. Undersized solar panels – Small panels charge batteries slowly and reduce their lifespan.
4. Wrong inverter choice – Some inverters can’t handle heavy loads or aren’t compatible with lithium; match it to your appliances.
5. Poor installation quality – Wrong wiring, settings, or breakers can damage the entire system.
6. Choosing based only on price – Cheap solar setups fail quickly; focus on quality and value.
7. No warranty or support – Avoid systems without proper warranty or after-sales service.
8. Unrealistic expectations – Know what your system can actually power and for how long.
