Homeowners are Overwhelmingly Happy with their Solar Panel Systems

The solar industry has come a long way, with today’s technology delivering exceptional reliability. Solar panels boast failure rates as low as 0.05% (1), while inverters range between 0.06% and 0.9% (2). With proper installation, home solar systems are expected, and typically warrantied, to operate for 25 years. This level of dependability underpins the high homeowner satisfaction rate of 90% (3), as reported in a 2024 Forbes survey.

A deeper dive into inverter performance reveals significant differences among technologies. String inverters, for instance, have the highest failure rate at 0.89%; and when one fails, the entire solar system ceases energy production. Microinverters, by contrast, offer a much lower failure rate of 0.055%. Additionally, a failed microinverter impacts only the associated panel, allowing the rest of the system to continue functioning without interruption. These advantages are why Solvari has standardized on microinverter technology for its all-in-one panel.

While solar panels and inverters are remarkably reliable, the overall system performance can be compromised by installation quality. Errors during installation can lead to serious issues, including roof leaks, system outages, and even fires (4). Solvari’s all-in-one solar panels address these installation challenges because they are pre-engineered, factory-built solar arrays. By eliminating job specific engineering, design, and rooftop assembly, Solvari minimizes the potential for installation errors, which we believe will ensure higher-quality and longer-term reliability on every system.

Homeowners wouldn’t feel confident with their handyman assembling their hot water heater from a pile of parts in the driveway. So, why should they accept solar installers building their solar system from hundreds of parts on the roof. We believe there is a better way, and it’s called Solvari SR.
