general solar FAQ’S

We can get just about any panel on the market, some are obviously better than others and some will of course cost more than others.  Over more than a decade now, we have seen dozens of solar panel manufacturers come and go.  Even some really BIG names that you would never expect to pull the plug.  We have a long history with Boviet and know them to be an outstanding, reliable manufacturer that does not compromise on quality.  Boviet has a variety of products to offer for any application.  Boviet is also on the Bloomberg “Tier-1” list which means they ...
