Our Products
In the young solar industry there is an epidemic of new products coming to the market. This makes it difficult for the average consumer to know what products are useful and reliable, and what is gimmicky or of poor quality. At Eco-merica we believe it's our responsibility to keep up to date with new and changing techniques and hardware so you don't have to. We pledge to only use the best products out there and to install them in only the best manner possible. A solar system is supposed to last 30+ years and the only way possible for that to happen is if it's installed carefully with all of the appropriate parts.
We are constantly bombarded with information on new solar panel companies starting up in Asia with incredibly low prices, but no track record of quality or performance. While some solar contractors may push these types of products onto unsuspecting customers in order to sweeten their profit margin, we choose to avoid the prospect of having unhappy customers whose solar panels are failing 5 years down the road. The only solar panel companies we use are not only industry leaders, but ones we've privately evaluated and consulted with to ensure they are of the quality we expect.
Another area of utmost importance in solar systems is insuring the integrity of the roof. We always use the industry's best methods for flashing our roof penetrations. Many installers choose to forego using flashings to keep their prices low. They often simply caulk the roof penetrations and hope for the best. This method does work and no immediate consequences will be noticed, but over the course of a few years, the caulk will start to degrade and your roof will start to leak. The right thing to do is to use a proper flashing device to eliminate any chance of water leaking through the roof. Although it may seem like a simple add on, the materials and additional labor can add $1500 or so to an average installation. So when comparing prices, be sure to find out the details of what products will be used.
These are just a couple examples of where the quality of our products directly affect the quality and performance of our completed installations. We use the best products you can find, so our installations are the best you can find. To find out more about the different manufacturers we have partnered with, click on their logos below.
