• System performance may be different due to many factors such as shading, season, the direction of panels, location, etc. All savings are discussed are based on assumptions only and may vary depending on actual usage and time of use of electricity at your premises.
• For Solar system to work at full capacity it needs a perfect angle and perfect direction to be installed, however, due to different size, type, pitch and direction of the roof it is always not possible, so Hybrid Solar Solutions will install a system with what is best available at your premises.

• We only refer installs to appropriately licensed and experienced tradespeople. As professionals, they will take every care of your roof. However, accidents can happen. Therefore we particularly draw your attention to the following:
• Decromastic Roofs: Due to the fragile nature of these roofs, we generally recommend against any kind of installation on them. If, however, you choose to proceed, it will be with due care, but at your risk.
• Asbestos Roofs: Many installers are unwilling to work with this risk. Therefore, any quote for installation on such a roof is subject to the availability of an installer and it will be at the customer’s risk.
• Tiled Roofs: In the unlikely event of breaking a tile, as every house has a different shape, type, and color of the tile, it is the customer’s responsibility to provide replacement tile on the day of installation so that we can replace any broken or cracked tile.
• Tin Roofs: usually these roofs are easiest and best to deal with but some time due to very old and rusted roofs any damages that occurred during installation will be at owners’ risk.

• We only disclose your personal information to your Network Provider or relevant parties in order to process the application and to generate STC’s. Because we respect your rights to privacy, we do not sell your information to third parties.
