☑️ An on-site visit

When connecting with a solar company, make sure they are willing to listen to your needs and requirements. The company should send an expert installer to your home so that he can inspect the overall area where the solar panel will be installed. As each house is constructed in a different way, each solar project is unique. While visiting your household the site engineer will thoroughly inspect your home and do an onsite evaluation. During the site visit, they will inspect your roof, electrical system and perform a shade analysis.

☑️ Examine existing projects

Ask your installers to take you for a visit at any of their existing projects. You can also take a visit and check their ongoing sites to have a better idea about their work. If you are unable to travel then you can ask them to send you some recent photos and videos of their previous installations. This is just to ensure their earlier work. After checking all these details, you will be able to make the right decision easily.

☑️ Testimonials and reviews from customers

A company's best source of feedback about its work is from its customers. Go through the company website to check their customer testimonials. If you plan to visit an existing project of the company, you can also speak to the project owner to gain a better understanding of their work.

☑️ Helps you choose the right system

A good installation company will help you understand your energy consumption. They will help you decide the best system for your projected load. They will provide you with a choice of inverters and explain to you what the different features(of inverter) mean for your project. Your solar installer will take time to discuss the complete product and location of installing each solar equipment. This is an important choice on your part that should be made carefully.

☑️ Warranties and maintenance

By installing solar you are doing a big investment for your home/factory/office. You have a long asset life and it is important to have all the facts on what you are getting into from not only cost but also maintenance.
