When you come to install a solar system, unless you decide to do it yourself, the company you choose to perform an installation will provide the panels for you, and will advise you on your options.

Don't forget, it's not just the panels you are buying â there's the wiring into your home electricity system as well, plus the cost of the installation itself.
