Installers should be cautious if products are being offered to them at prices lower than they would normally expect.

The solar industry is currently experiencing a high level suspiciously cheap solar panels, inverters, and batteries and installers are advised to use caution when deciding where to purchase.

There have been reports of unauthenticated websites that are fooling customers with fake power classes and outdated modules. While questions have been raised about the lifespan and originality of goods for sale that have no traceability of supply chain – this can cause problems for installers later.

It’s also worth noting that certifications and warranty documents are unlikely to be original unlike the manufacturers offer when purchased from trusted distribution partners.

In contrast, Segen has been trading for 20-years and has built up a strong and reliable reputation for selling guaranteed genuine products from trusted manufacturers with full warranties and tech support.

Due to skilled buying and market forecasting stock at Segen turns over in around 40 days meaning that inverters that have warranties that begin 6 months from manufacture can be installed with the full warranty period intact giving solar professionals plenty of time to install devices even before the warranty begins.

So, in conclusion, while there are tempting deals out there, in the long run they just aren’t worth the hassle, or the money because when something seems too good to be true, it generally is!
