Solar Power Is Not Affordable
This is one of the most common myths about solar power systems, and it simply isn’t true. Solar panels have become more affordable in recent years as technology has improved, and with the money you save on your energy bills, you won't have to wait long to break even on your investment. In addition, there are many financial incentives available to help make solar more affordable, such as the Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and solar rebates.
Solar Panels Don’t Have Warranties
Another common myth is that solar panels don’t come with warranties. West Coast Solar is proud to offer competitive warranty options for all of our home solar power systems. Our comprehensive warranties protect you against solar panel defects caused by roof-related work, labor costs for component replacements covered under the manufacturer's warranty, and more.
Solar Panels Will Damage Your Roof
Some homeowners are concerned that installing solar panels on their roofs will damage their property. This isn't something you have to worry about when you work with an experienced solar company with certified installers. In fact, solar panels actually protect your roof from UV radiation and extend the life of your roofing material.
Solar Panels Require Lots of Maintenance
Solar panels are designed to withstand the elements and require very little maintenance. In most cases, all you need to do is keep them clean of debris and leaves. You can also hire a solar company to perform an annual maintenance check to ensure your system is running smoothly.
