What standard should you hold your solar installation company to?

Utterly choosing the most affordable solar panel installation company is not the most intelligent decision. Although local solar panel installation companies are usually less pricey than national solar panel installation companies, we have gathered a basic guide so you know where to start looking, and what questions to ask. Finding the right solar panel installer takes more than a basic online search. There are variables you need to look out for, such as quality of work, customer service, post-installation service and much more. To get started we added a few things you should know like finding a company with a good reputation, and are their products warrantied.
 

A good reputation should be required when choosing a solar panel installation company

This way you know if the company has had problems in the past, and sometimes you learn how they handled them, and whether they learned from their bad reviews and improved their business practices.  People review companies, and there are plenty of places that post these reviews. Look online for reviews on Google, Yelp, and even places like Angie’s List.

Also, word of mouth is the best form of marketing there is. If you see a great solar installation on your neighbor’s roof, then ask them about it. Are they happy? Was the installation done in a timely manner? How well does the system work? If you ask these questions, it will help find a company with a good reputation. People trust their friends and neighbors. It is also a good idea to call the companies themselves and ask them if they outsource their labor. If they do, installation quality might be inconsistent.
 

When choosing to go solar, the solar panel installation company that you choose must provide a warranty 

When choosing to go solar, you're making a significantly large purchase. So it is beyond wise to protect yourself with a warranty. We don’t recommend you purchase a solar panel system unless it is covered by a warranty. Different equipment is covered by different warranties, and many installers also guarantee their work. It is still important to understand what is covered and for how long. It is important to sit down and figure out which warranty works best for you. It might be the decision to choose one power inverter over another.
