Some downsides of getting solar panels are that they don’t work at night, can be an eyesore, and are challenging to install on your own. However, there are resolutions for each of these issues. You can install a solar battery to store energy to use at night, and you can hire a solar company to install your system, albeit at an additional cost. Aim to purchase monocrystalline panels or look into the possibility of solar shingles for a more aesthetically pleasing solar system.
