Important information to keep in mind when choosing a solar company

The decision to go solar is an important one.  It is important to work with a company you can trust.  Consider these 5 factors when making such a large investment and doing your research first.

5 questions to ask a solar company first before signing an agreement

1. Where is the company based? 
It's important when doing any work to the home you have a local company with a brick and mortar office that's there, they're reachable and easily accessible if you ever have any issues or needs or services down the line.


2. Who does the installation? 
A lot of solar companies use subcontractors or cheaper labor to get the work performed. You want to make sure you're choosing a reputable company that has in-house install crews.


3. What type of licensing do they have? 
It's very important when choosing a solar company that they're licensed to work on your roof, the electrical, and also install the solar panels. Choosing a company that has a general contractor license, a solar license, an electrical, and also a roofing license is the way to go.


4. Do they carry commercial liability and workers' compensation? 
God forbid something happens when a company is working on your home. You want to make sure that you, the owner, are not liable so it's important that you take a look and ensure that they are current, up-to-date with all state laws with a commercial liability and workers' comp.


5. What type of solar inverters do they use? 
There's a big difference in the industry between types of inverters. You want to make sure that you're using the most up-to-date and current technology with micro-inverters.
