When installing a home energy storage system, there are three main pitfalls to avoid:
- Oversizing:
Don’t buy more storage capacity than you actually need. Consider your energy consumption patterns and backup power requirements, and choose a system that matches your needs.
An oversized system will be a waste of money, while an undersized system may not be able to meet your demands. - Low-quality equipment:
Avoid cheap or low-quality equipment from unreliable manufacturers or suppliers.
Choose reputable brands and make sure the equipment is properly certified and tested.
Low-quality equipment can malfunction or have a shortened lifespan, jeopardizing your investment. - Improper installation:
Make sure your energy storage system is installed by a qualified and experienced electrician.
Improper installation can create safety hazards, such as fire or electrical shock
Look for installers with a good reputation and who follow industry standards.
