Many customers have regretted delaying in 2019 as they now pay much higher. Don’t be one of them. Save thousands by taking action now

SOLAR EQUIPMENT PRICE RISES!

COVID-19 has also been wreaking havoc in the solar power sector – which has had an adverse effect on customers.

Since the outbreak of the pandemic, key materials, panels, and shipments have been delayed leading to intense competition in the U.S.

This has caused prices to soar and forced customers to face long wait lists or pay more than usual.

It is now possible that the prices of solar equipment will rise once again this summer, which is a concern.

GLASS SHORTAGE CRISIS

Australia and India are already feeling the heat as China faces a serious glass shortage. This has caused glass prices to rise 71% since July 2020, and it could continue to rise this year.

According to some forecasts, the solar industry may run out of glass by 20-30% between now and summer 2022. Act quickly to prevent these rising costs.
