13. What are the different types of solar panels?  

Ans. While every solar panel brand and product has unique specifications, EchosolSolar has rated solar panels on a five-tier scale, from Poor to Fair, through Good and Very Good, and ultimately up to Excellent. The classifications are displayed on each panel page in the EchosolSolar Buyer’s Guide, and are provided alongside every quote that is submitted through the EchosolSolar Solar Marketplace to help shoppers compare their options and choose the best solar panels for their needs.   

14. What are the different types of power inverters?  

Ans. Power inverters convert the electricity your panels produce from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) power. There are three types of inverters: string/centralized inverters, microinverters, and power optimizers. Like solar panels, EchosolSolar has rated solar inverters on a five-tier scale, from Poor to Fair, through Good and Very Good, and ultimately up to Excellent. The classifications are displayed on each inverter page in the EchosolSolar Buyer’s Guide, and are provided alongside every quote that is submitted through the EchosolSolar Solar Marketplace to help shoppers compare their options and choose the best equipment for their needs.   

15. What happens during the solar power installation process?  

Ans. The first step to going solar is to register on EchosolSolar to receive and compare multiple installation quotes. These quotes will include a variety of equipment choices, financing options, and solar company reviews. When you find one you’re happy with, your installer will conduct a site visit to assess your property. Once you accept a quote on EchosolSolar, your installer will file the paperwork necessary to have your system approved. The actual installation takes a day or two to complete.   

16. Should I ask for a solar monitoring system for my solar panels?  

Ans. If you are interested in receiving detailed information about how much energy your solar panel system is producing, ask your installer about solar monitoring system options. In many cases, solar lease agreements will include free programs to track your system’s performance. If you own your system you may need to pay for one separately.   

17. Do I need to install solar batteries with my solar power system?  

Ans. Solar power systems that include solar batteries, known as solar-plus-storage, are increasingly popular, but can be pricey. Luckily, batteries are not necessary for most solar homeowners. As long as you are connected to the grid, your system does not need a battery: excess power goes back into the grid, and you can draw from the grid if you need more electricity than your panels can generate.
