Quality Matters: Solar Is a "Leave It Alone" System
Where quality counts most
•Racking that stays tight and sealed
•Inverters with strong warranties and proven reliability
•Proper wire management and weather-rated components
•Panels from manufacturers with real track records
DIY doesn't mean cutting corners
•DIY means moving budget away from sales overhead and into durable gear and solid design.
Rule of thumb
•If a component is hard to access later (roof, attic runs), choose the higher-quality option now.
Next step: Spend for longevity where replacement is painful.
