Finding a reputable solar panel installer can be a time-consuming process; you trawl the internet and local directories searching for the best company to install your solar panel system. After that, you are at a loss for what to ask them once you have located one. Simple questions to ask your solar panel installer before you proceed with the installation are addressed in this article, which I’ve written to make it easy to understand.
Are they accredited?
Accreditation is vital in every aspect; just before visiting online websites like NetBet, you should ensure they are reputable. Becoming MCS accredited to work as a solar panel installer is necessary. This means they have completed and passed any courses required to work as solar panel installers. You can quickly check the MCS register to ensure that your solar system installer is legitimate and has received MCS accreditation by visiting their website. From this page, you can locate your installer and check the database of installers to ensure that the company is accredited by the MCS (Ministry of Consumer Services).
What type of system is most appropriate for you and your property?
Now that you have an MCS-certified installer on your team, you should consult with them to identify which type of system will work best for you and your property. Following this, your installer should present you with a proposal for the most appropriate system for you and your property. The proposal should include information on the size of the panels, the number of solar panels that will be used, the Kw of your system, and the manufacturer of the solar panels used in your new system, among other things.
The proposal may also include information on how long it will take to recoup your initial investment, as well as any additional information on savings opportunities.
Do they have any previous experience with installations?
When a solar installer is accredited, they can install a solar system (this will have been one of their challenges during their training). Still, it is beneficial to know that they have completed previous solar installations before becoming accredited. Inquire about client testimonials, or check their website to see if they have a gallery of recent work to view.
Who will be involved in the installation process?
We want to remind you that MCS-certified installers must complete all solar installations. Check with your new company to ensure that only accredited installers will be working on your new building before proceeding.
The purchase price of your system
The cost of your system should be documented in the proposal that you receive from the company that installed it. Various factors influence the price of a system, including the size of your system and the type of panels used.
Conclusion
They may be more, so be sure to ask your installer as many questions as you possibly can. After all, they are the ones who are providing the service, and they should be able to give you more info as you require.
Your installer will also be able to provide you with information on how to reduce your energy bills even further if you ask them for it. Your new system should only be the beginning – there are numerous ways to save funds on your power expenditures while reducing your carbon footprint.
