Making an education decision when selecting your solar company

Here are the top things you should be looking for when choosing a solar company:

Company's Location

Some solar companies have high sales quotas that they need to meet in order to stay in business, this can often push salespeople into taking short cuts and lead them to sell you solar even if your house isn't solar friendly, or doesn't need solar. One of the best ways to avoid any solar company that is trying to make a quick sale and will offer you solar panels regardless of whether solar energy would be cost effective for your home is to look at the solar companies location. Often times, solar companies will put up their solar panels and solar batteries in a warehouse or industrial area where solar energy isn't very effective. If you're interested in solar energy for your home, look for solar companies that will be willing to measure your solar potential and discuss whether solar is viable for your house before trying to sell you unneeded equipment.

Company's Experience

Sunlight is a free resource that's constantly replenishing itself and solar energy is a simple way to take advantage of this abundant energy source. Home solar systems are surprisingly affordable, with prices dropping over the years and rebates and tax credits available from the federal government and most states, solar panels for your house can be an excellent investment.

Before you sign a solar contract, make sure solar energy is right for your house. Take some time to research solar companies that are willing to sit down with you and discuss solar's benefits, solar panels, solar batteries (backup solar batteries), and the solar equipment that will be most effective for your home. If a solar company can't take the time to answer all of your questions, it might be that this isn't the right company for you.

Company's Reputation

Once a company has installed solar panels in your area, word of mouth has a big impact on their success. Make sure solar is right for your home by researching solar companies that are willing to discuss solar energy with you.  Check out this blog and consider the 5 questions you might want to ask a solar company. 

Don't fall for any scams with solar companies selling you things you don't need.   Some solar companies offer equipment or leases to homeowners that don't actually need solar panels.

Company's Warranty

Solar equipment can have a limited lifespan of between 20- 30 years before solar cells will need to be replaced. Before solar companies even start measuring your solar potential, ask them about their warranty for solar equipment versus solar cells. If solar cells are only covered under the manufacturer's warranty, any work that may need to be done on solar panels can cost you significantly more money than it would if the solar company was responsible for replacing the solar cells.  Ensure your warranty covers everything needed for your panels.

Company's Customer Service

Solar energy is a promising industry that will continue to grow. However, problems will arise, especially as your house ages.  Solar companies should be willing to discuss what features they offer to deliver customer service and continue to maintain your current system if a technical problem should occur.    Who do call about your bill?  What if you want to add more panels?

Make sure to question whether the company will guarantee the work they perform and the products they use with their warranty.   Is the company certified?  Guyou is NABCEP certified, which is considered the gold standard in the industry.
