4. Warranties - Check the length of the warranties. Your system should last about 25 years
and some systems do come with 25 year warranties. Others are only 5 years

So for me a 1kilowatt system would nearly be enough to replace all my energy needs

5. Electricity companies will pay you for you excess power you produce. Shop around to get the best feed in tarrif
