Choosing the One: How to Evaluate Local Solar Companies

May 3, 2021 by Annie

C:\Users\rocco\Downloads\Image.Jpeg

If you’ve been looking at the benefits of going solar, you know there are countless reasons to convert to solar energy. As a homeowner, you can save money, be more self-reliant, and get valuable tax credits.

However, making the transition from city power to solar power isn’t a walk in the park. You’ll need to hire one of the local solar companies to set up your new system. They’ll help you calculate your energy needs and install all of the components.

The only question is, how do you choose between all the local solar panel companies?

Not sure where to begin? We can help. Read on for a quick guide on finding the best local solar company.

Find Customer Reviews Online

First, Google “local solar companies near me” to find a list of the top competitors in your town. Follow the link to each of their websites to find reviews from their previous customers. If they haven’t published customer reviews on their website, use Google to search the company name and “reviews.”

Use the reviews to determine the quality of the solar company’s services. Was the homeowner happy with the solar equipment and setup? Would they recommend the solar company to other consumers?

Get Recommendations From Other Homeowners in Your Area

If you know someone who has solar panels on their home, ask who they used for the installation. This could include your friends, neighbors, family members, and co-workers.

You can also log onto your social media profiles and ask friends and followers if they have any recommendations. However, you’ll need to make sure the people you’re talking to live in the area. A Texas solar company won’t do you any good if you live in New York.

Compare and Contrasting Pricing and Services

When looking at the various local solar panel installation companies, reach out to get a free quote. You need to know what each company charges for the same basic setup.

However, it’s also important to ask if the quoted price comes with any additional services. This could include free maintenance, warranties, troubleshooting, etc. Remember, cheap doesn’t always mean better.

Ask About Product Warranties and Installation Guarantees

The best local solar companies will stand behind their products and services. Their contract should include a customer satisfaction guarantee based on the solar installment and equipment used.

The solar equipment should be covered under a manufacturer warranty. If something is defective, you shouldn’t have to pay to have it replaced. If something was installed incorrectly, how will the company make it right?

Make Sure the Solar Installers Are Properly Qualified

Finally, the local solar energy company you hire must be qualified to handle electrical equipment and wiring. Solar power is no less dangerous than the electricity provided by the local power plants. It can still cause fires, shocks, and electrocution.

As such, the solar installers should be licensed to conduct electrical work. They should also carry liability insurance. This insurance will cover any damages caused by the solar company while they’re are working at your home.

Want to Find the Best Local Solar Companies?

Transitioning y0our home to operate off of solar power is incredibly exciting. You’re doing yourself and the environment a huge favor by investing in green, renewable energy. Just take your time to find the best local solar companies.
