Choosing the Right Solar Installer: Questions to Ask Before You Commit

When you choose to make the switch to solar energy, it’s important to know you’re in good hands when it comes to your solar installer.

Your installation provider is your main point of contact throughout your switch to renewable energy, and they will continue to be your contact if you have questions or concerns with your solar unit. Make sure you’re choosing the right solar installer by asking these questions before you commit.

What Type Of Experience Do You Have?

When choosing an installer, you want to select a provider that has experience. Not only are you spending your hard-earned money on this system, but you’re also looking at having the system for 20-30 years. With that said, you’ll want someone trusted to complete the installation to ensure it’s done correctly. 

Ask what experience the installer has in your general residential area as well. Solar installation can look different depending on where you reside, the type of roof on your home or business, and the direction your home or business faces.

What Does Your Installation Process Look Like?

As the customer, your process of converting to renewable energy should be as stress-free as possible from start to finish. Learn what your provider’s solar installation process includes so you know exactly what you’re getting into from the start.

What Solar Incentives Are Available In My Area?

Depending on your state or even town, the solar incentives can differ. Your solar provider should be educated and able to share what incentives are available based on where you reside.

For example, in the state of Indiana, you are 100% exempt from all property taxes associated when your home’s value increases due to your solar power system installation. If your home is located in an area of Indiana served by NIPSCO, you also have the chance to enroll in a program to get credit for your solar energy.

What Are Your Solar Financing Options?

Every solar installer provides different options when it comes to financing your system. It’s important to ask what these options are upfront so you can choose the option that best fits your financial situation. 

At Advanced Solar, we offer a variety of financing options; from in-house financing to home equity and personal loans, you can choose what works best for you. We make financing your solar system easy and stress-free.

What Support Do You Provide Post-Installation?

When choosing the best solar installer for you, you’ll want to learn what support is provided post-installation. Some installers won’t provide assistance post-installation, leaving you high and dry if you find yourself having trouble with your system. 

Your best bet is to find a provider that will be with you every step of the way. You want an installer willing to provide ongoing maintenance and support when needed, even years after your initial installation.
