Step 2. Solar Equipment
Size, Brands, Models, & Prices
Solar Buying Guide - Step 2 is your best guide to making the right choices about equipment. But, as for the other Buying Guides, I've tried to keep it as brief as possible, focused on just what most people need to make those choices wisely.
For those interested in pursuing any equipment topics further, I offer this section of in-depth solar information. Only the second article, "Panel Efficiency, Output, & Price" is supplementary to the Buying Guide - it doesn't include nearly all the material in the Buying Guide. The other six articles in this section are the full versions of these articles, incorporating all the Buying Guide material as well.
■ Is 5kW the Right Size System for You? everything about system sizing
■ Solar Panel Efficiency, Output, & Price
■ Solar Roof Tiles
■ Solar Panel Inverters
■ Solar Panel Monitors
■ Solar Batteries
■ Solar Warranties, Guarantees, & Insurance: important reading
