Buying solar panels is a huge investment, especially if you plan to install them in your home. With many solar panel installers flooding the market, it might take time to choose the correct installer. If you are unaware of what to look for, you might get overwhelmed by all the information. Finding the right solar panel installer can be challenging if you don’t know what you are looking for. 

Tips to find the right solar panel installers

Certification

While looking for a solar panel installer, it is necessary to check the certification. Generally, a good panel installer will be a Renewable Energy Assurance Limited and Solar Trade Association Member. Member: You should select the installer with MSC accreditation. Hiring accredited installers will help you get your panel appropriately installed.

Ask for references

If you are still deciding, getting references from neighbours who have installed solar panels on their property is better. You can also check testimonials, reviews, and references from previous clients and research on the installer. Consulting with prior customers will help you understand the installation process. 

Ask for warranty

When hiring a professional installer, be aware of the warranty that comes with the service. Prominent installers give an average of 10 years of service warranty. If the warranty is shorter, check with other installers before finalising. Some installers also provide workmanship warranties. Know the details before you hire them. 

Ask for a home visit.

The installer should be willing to visit your home and take the time to give you information about the suitability of the solar panels. You can also ask your installer for suggestions about your home’s energy-saving options. If the installer is unwilling to provide time and evaluate these specific requirements before installation, you should opt for a different installer. 

Check the quotations

Get quotes from more than one installer to ensure the installation process is smooth. The quotations are generally tailored to the installation’s needs. You can compare the rates if you ask for quotations from multiple professionals.
