Most solar electric panels have a 25 year power output warranty. They commonly last many years more than that. The system will likely continue to produce electricity long after the 20 year Feed-In Tariff contract has run out.
South Country Solar and Schultz Electric have many years of experience with solar electric systems on homes, and has brought together systems using the best components: Solar modules, Fast-Rack mounting systems and inverters with 10+ year warranties. When investing in equipment for a 20 year power production contract you want to be sure to choose a brand that you can rely on.
There is a lot of investment in solar technology development. The best producing solar panels for rooftops are crystalline silicon solar cells. These offer the highest efficiency, reducing the cost of mounting equipment and time to install. Low efficiency panels are less expensive per module, but will often result in higher system costs due to the larger array size. South Country Solar uses only high efficiency products in its grid-tie systems.
The inverter has a display that shows the cumulative energy produced by the solar array.
South Country Solar recommends the Fast-Rack systems. These unique solar panel mounting systems secure the modules to the roof with a low profile brackets covered with anodized trim pieces. They have special self sealing roof attachments that make sure the panels are strongly attached but watertight. If your roof needs replacing in the future, the system can be disassembled and reinstalled after the roofers have completed the roof.
