Before you decide to install a solar system on the roof of your home, it’s imperative that you hire an experienced and quality installer to successfully get it up and running for the long-term. Solar systems are significant investments and you need to feel comfortable with the installer you ultimately choose, so the company will have your back now and well into the future should issues arise.

Above all else, you need to be able to feel confident that the solar installation company is trustworthy, will be there for support assistance should something need to be fixed or replaced, and will be in business for many years to come to effectively stand behind any warranties provided.

What that being said, there are some key questions that you should be asking potential solar power companies before you put pen to paper and finalize any kind of a deal. The answers to these questions will help you determine which home solar power system you want to deploy for your home’s needs, and what solar providers near me are the best fits for the installation process. Be sure to interview at least two or three solar installers that are on your shortlist, and don’t move forward until all of your concerns and questions are well addressed.

Below are ten questions that will give you a good understanding of what each company can do for your home’s energy needs – be sure to listen closely to each of their responses and make notes if desired.

1. Does your company offer a workmanship warranty, and if so, what does that look like?

2. If repairs or replacements are needed to my solar system, are there maintenance guarantees in place to protect my investment?

3. Should I decide to sell my home, are the warranties and/or service contracts transferable to the new owners

4. How do past customers rate and review your company’s services?

5. Has your company done solar installation projects that are similar to what my home’s solar needs are?

6. Will I be provided with a shade analysis so that accurate performance and cost-savings projections can be made?

7. Does your company only use its own employees or do you subcontract work out to other companies as well?

8. Can you share your company’s current financial situation and how many years has it been in business for to date?

9. Will I be trained so I can effectively monitor and at a basic level maintain my solar system?

10. Are there financing and leasing options available directly from your company?

You may have more questions that you need to be answered before ultimately hiring a solar installer, but these ten questions are a good place to start.
