Making the switch to solar with these tips in mind


A quick drive around San Diego County and you might spot a few vehicles sporting, flashy banners advertising solar panels. Can you trust them? Meanwhile, there are even more companies and options on the internet.  

A growing number of people are eager to learn more about solar panels and the savings they provide. However, finding a reputable and trustworthy solar company can be a daunting task.  

Here are some tips designed to help homeowners find a reliable solar company worthy of your trust.


Ask for references.


When choosing a solar company ask for references.  Check out their physical address and make sure their customer reviews are more positive than negative.  A good review says a lot about a company and can give you valuable insight.  At Guyou, we are happy to provide references and have plenty of information available on our website as well.   


Financing options


Watch out for one type of financing offer.  A reputable company will be able to offer a range of financing options and can explain them transparently.    There are three main ways to finance solar panels: purchase, loan, or lease.  Watch out for “free” solar panels. The panels are free, but they come in exchange for financing agreements that may hurt you over time.  At Guyou, we have a variety of financing options.   A customer service agent is happy to sit down with you and explain your options.



Don’t be afraid to ask questions


Don’t sign anything right away.  Feel free to take the information home and look it over.  Ask questions while you are meeting with your solar experts.  Scammers are masters of the hard sell and will likely try to get you to sign a contract right away.  If an offer seems too good to be true, it most likely is! 



Available for service and maintenance


Is the company available for follow-up service calls or troubleshooting?  Solar panels set to PV solar is an investment that will stretch over many years. The company that installs your system becomes a partner.  Guyou is available for maintenance  and upkeep for solar panels installed by other companies as well.  Guyou also offers upkeep and monitor of your current system too.  We are here to help! 


Consider whether this company will be around for years to come and will be available to add panels to your home if necessary.  Adding panels is always a good idea if you have lived in your home for a while, so finding an experienced installer is key when picking a solar company.
