5 Solar Buying Mistakes to Avoid

What are the biggest solar buying mistakes?
The 5 costliest solar buying mistakes: (1) Comparing only on PRICE not total value (budget panels may cost more over 25 years). (2) Skipping the site survey (desktop-only quotes miss shading and structural issues). (3) Choosing a basic string inverter when you might want a battery (hybrid costs £200 more now, saves £1,000+ later). (4) Not checking MCS certification (losing £2,000-£7,500 in SEG over 25 years). (5) Waiting for prices to drop (losing £580-£900/year while waiting). Each mistake costs £500-£5,000+.
