Are you confident in your technical skills and feel experienced enough to handle your solar installation? Going DIY on your solar system installation may feel like a great and inexpensive idea as you won't need to pay an expert. However, getting a professional to handle the installation is a better choice for the reasons below.

Guaranteed Safety

How long have you been working on rooftops or using a ladder? Climbing the ladder, getting to the rooftop, and hauling solar panels as you walk on an inclined rooftop can be dangerous. Hiring an expert guarantees your safety as they're experienced and well-trained working on high surfaces and rooftops.

The safety also extends to your well-being as installing solar panels needs electric connections. Since you aren't a licensed electrician, there is a concern for electrical safety if you decide to undertake the installation.

You'll need to connect the solar panel to the power supply around your home. A simple mistake in the electric connection can put your life in danger of electrocution or cause a fire that costs your home. Besides, most states require any electrical connection to be handled by a professional. Thus, it is necessary to seek the services of an expert solar installer.

Experience, Training, Skills, and Specialty Equipment

Watching DIY tutorials on how to install a solar panel may appear easy. However, it only appears straightforward because the technicians in the videos are experts and have years of experience handling installations. In reality, installing a solar system is hectic, especially if you don't have any training.

While you may have a fully stocked workshop with tools, do you have all the necessary tools to install solar systems? Solar installation needs more than a power drill, ladder, and helmet. Additionally, the specialty equipment needed is costly, and buying it for a one-time use might cost more than hiring a technician.

Increased Home Resale Value

Installing a solar system helps increase the resale value of your home should you need to move. Nonetheless, the resale value only increases if the solar system installation is done by a professional. Therefore, choosing to install the unit yourself can drastically reduce the value of your home. 

Besides, as an average homeowner, getting the installation right on the first attempt isn't easy. Thus, despite watching tutorials and other guidance videos, the installation is prone to be faulty and might cause more harm around your home.
