- If you only focus on the solar panels, you may not get what you expect. Take a whole-systems approach, what we call the "5x3 Solar Approach", and avoid wasting money using solar panels as bandaids for a bad renewable energy system.
- Unfortunately, “adding solar” with blinders on is often encouraged by companies simply trying to sell as many panels as possible.
- If you step back and look at the whole system of producing and consuming energy, you can better see and eliminate the waste.
It isn't just about the performance of your solar panels, it's about the completeness of your renewable energy system.
