Solar energy has become increasingly more common as people become more aware of of the financial and environmental benefits of solar panels. However, it can be daunting to start your investigation into the world of solar energy as it increases in size and popularity. It is essential to make sure you choose the best company for your solar panel provider. If you have recently decided to install solar energy to your home, but are unsure of where to start, this blog is for you!

Below are some key questions to ask potential solar installers to make an informed and educated decision.

Questions:

  1. Are you licensed and insured? While it might seem like an obvious first question, it is important to guarantee that any potential company is licensed to install the solar energy systems you are interested in. Licensing may vary by region, and insurance is necessary to protect you in case of damages and accidents during the installation process.
  2. How much experience do you have in solar energy installation? Again, it may seem simple, but it is crucial to understand how much experience a company has in the installation process, as it is complex  work and more experienced workers will be more likely to handle any issues thrown their way. It is also important to research how many successful installations have been conducted and if past customers were happy with their experience.
  3. What type of solar panels would you recommend for me and why? This question allows the customer to understand the different types of solar panels, as they may vary in cost, size, dependency, and life expectancy. Asking this question also allows the installer to showcase their knowledge with the different types of solar energy systems and explain the best option for your specific budget and needs.
  4. What is your policy for maintenance and monitoring after installation? Solar energy maintenance doesn’t stop after the installation. Solar panels require cleaning every 6 months to maintain their efficiency and energy production, so it is important to enquire if the company you choose will provide maintenance and monitoring services to make cleaning easier.
