Choosing your Solar Installer

Deciding on a solar installer can be the most challenging part of the process. When you've decided to invest in a solar solution, you'll want to make sure you've got the best people doing the job. In this checklist we provide you with all the criteria you should keep in mind when hiring a contractor.

Solar is a long-term investment

With solar power, the goal should be to save money for the next 25 to 30 years, not a little bit on the initial installation costs. Saving money with your solar power system depends entirely on having the right system that is able to last as long as it is guaranteed to last for.
