Tips on Selecting Solar Panel Installers

Selecting the best solar installer for your job isn't necessarily best done by getting several bids and choosing the cheapest. Here are some tips to help make sure you have a good experience and get the most for your money.

Licensed Contractor

Not only will selecting a licensed contractor to do your solar installation help ensure your job will be done correctly, in some states, using a licensed contractor is required in order to get tax incentive credits. Ideally your solar panel installer will have not only an electrical contracting license, but a general contractor's license as well.

Solar Panel Installation Experience

Ask how many years experience you potential installer has, and what platforms he or she has experience installing – such as roof-top panels, integrated shingles, or pole mounts. Does the contractor have experience with grid connected systems or are they strictly off grid solar panel installers?

Solar Installer References

Asking for references and talking to previous customers can give you a good idea of what to expect from your installation experience. Ideally you will be able to contact the references directly and ask questions such as:

Are you happy with the service you received?
Was the installation done on budget and on schedule?
Was there anything you wish would have been different in the process?

Education

Ask your potential solar installer what training and certificates he or she has. The most nationally recognized installation certificate is from the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP). Other certifications exist, such as ETA International Solar Installer Certification.

Solar Panel Installation - Warranty and Materials

Having a good warranty on your solar installation will give you piece of mind and ensure that the installation is done properly and is going to last. Ask about the warranty included on the materials and panels and well as the installation itself.

Conclusion

Again, getting bids from several contractors will make sure you are getting a good idea of the pricing available to you and also give you a sense of how working with the contractor might be. Selecting an installer based on the lowest bid is not recommended. Selecting an installer based on experience, quality, references and warranties will ensure you get the most for your money and your installation process goes smoothly.
