Investing in photovoltaic solar energy is a strategic and smart decision, particularly at a time when the costs of conventional energy continue to rise and environmental challenges are increasingly urgent. However, to ensure that this investment is genuinely profitable and delivers the expected benefits, it is essential that the entire process—from installation to after-sales service—is conducted with rigor, transparency, and responsibility. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon to find inadequate, unprofessional, and even dangerous practices in the market, seriously jeopardizing photovoltaic systems and compromising the return on investment for customers.
One of the issues most frequently raised by customers relates to abandonment or lack of support after the installation of solar panels. Many companies merely install photovoltaic systems and neglect the subsequent phase, leaving customers on their own when problems or questions arise regarding equipment operation. This approach not only damages the customer's experience but can also lead to serious operational failures, significantly reducing the lifespan of the system.
Another critical aspect is the inadequate installation of solar panels. Due to a lack of meticulous planning or unfamiliarity with best practices, some installers position panels in inappropriate locations that are persistently shaded or incorrectly angled, dramatically diminishing their energy efficiency. Such negligence translates into a significant performance drop, undermining expectations regarding savings and energy sustainability.
The use of inappropriate or inferior quality materials is also a severe and commonly observed issue. For instance, choosing electrical cables of a smaller gauge than recommended can cause dangerous overheating, increasing the risk of fires and jeopardizing not only the financial investment but also the physical safety of customers. Certified, high-quality equipment and materials are crucial to ensuring a safe, efficient, and durable installation.
The absence or incorrect use of specific protective devices for photovoltaic systems is another worrying point. Devices such as circuit breakers, fuses, and surge protectors are essential for safeguarding the system against potentially destructive electrical events. Companies opting to ignore or save money on these components expose customers to serious faults that can cause irreversible damage to the system and significant additional future costs.
Hiring technicians without adequate training or proven experience is a very common mistake, frequently resulting in faulty and dangerous installations. Installing photovoltaic systems is a complex task that requires specialized technical knowledge and constant updates regarding current norms and regulations. Unqualified professionals can jeopardize the entire system's integrity and, consequently, the safety of users.
Another crucial aspect is conducting realistic economic studies and energy production forecasts. Unfortunately, some companies regularly provide overly optimistic and poorly substantiated predictions, misleading customers about the financial return on their investment. The use of professional software capable of carrying out detailed and accurate studies of energy production, accounting for all variables and possible losses, is essential to ensure transparency and credibility with the customer.
Moreover, it's quite common to find large companies employing transient or temporary installation teams, subcontracted without rigorous criteria. This practice leads to inconsistencies in installations, severely compromising their uniformity and quality. Installers working without strict adherence to norms and best practices tend to make mistakes that can result in premature failures and additional costs for customers.
Another commonly detected error in poorly executed solar installations is incorrect electrical connections. Poorly executed connections or improperly sealed connectors can cause water infiltration, moisture buildup, and short circuits, dramatically affecting system safety and performance. This type of technical failure can lead to costly and potentially dangerous damage, severely compromising the customer's investment return.
Finally, a common practice among some companies is hiring engineers solely to sign off on projects, without direct supervision or real involvement in the installation. This procedure severely undermines the technical integrity of the installed systems and jeopardizes user safety. A proper installation should always be overseen and validated by responsible technicians directly involved in the project.
