Bigger and Better<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the U.S., we tend to find ourselves waiting for the next \u201cbigger\u201d or \u201cbetter\u201d option to come to the table before we make big purchases.  Looking for the most reliable solar energy news can be a feat, but Del Sol takes the stress away. As anxiously await to see what the next model Tesla electric car will look like or what features the next iPhone will highlight. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We balance the cost of the investment of the \u2018next big thing\u2019 with waiting it out for something that is bigger, better, stronger \u2013 all with a smaller price tag. That purchaser tendency proliferates within the solar industry as well.  The two big things that people ask when learning about solar is <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Should I wait for prices to drop and <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Is there a better panel on the horizon I should wait for? <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Let\u2019s take a quick look at some answers for those questions. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Will Solar Panels Drop in Price if I Wait to Install my Panels? <\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Panels are currently at the lowest price per watt than they have historically ever been. When people ask about \u201csolar fall out\u201d in pricing, they are often surprised to learn that we are already there! According to Lazard\u2019s most recent report <\/span>Levelized Cost of Energy Analysis<\/a><\/span><\/i>, prices for solar panels plunged between 2009 and 2017. \u00a0Most solar experts believe that the cost cuts to solar have bottomed out<\/strong>. \u00a0A representative from Saule Technologies stated, \u201cWe saw a very rapid fall of the process. [But] there are technology obstacles [for it] to go down as rapidly as it did since 2013. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This confirms that now is a great time to purchase solar panels. The cost has dropped radially over the last 15 years and with current technology, there are very limited capabilities for manufactures or installation companies to reduce costs more and still stay open.  However, it does also suggest that perhaps there is something more on the horizon.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
