What To Know When Hiring A Solar Energy Contractor

September 5, 2018

Solar Energy Doesn’t Have To Be Hard…

If you have made the decision to switch over to solar, you are likely going to need a solar energy contractor to make sure that your panels are installed correctly, that you are connected to the grid, and that you are getting the most out of your panels. However, there are a few things that you should know before you find a contractor and a few things that you should ask to make sure that you are getting the best service possible. There is a new office for the NM Solar Group which is Alamogordo solar energy contractor.

Work With Company Delegated Contractors

The first thing that you should know is that most companies will have their own contractors. You might be able to get someone who doesn’t work with the specific company, but in most cases, you will get someone who works for the company that you are purchasing your panels from. This actually works in your favor because they will have nothing to gain from trying to upsell you and they will be extremely familiar with the panels that they are installing. This means they will be much less likely to make an error and they will usually be in and out much faster than other professionals.

Check About Warranties

Second, You should always ask the contractor about the warranty that you have on your panels and what upkeep you need to do to make sure that the warranty remains active. You will likely already have the paperwork for your warranty, but they might be able to explain it in layman’s terms, making it easy for you to understand what you need to do. If you didn’t receive your paperwork, they will usually be able to give you a copy, ensuring that you are able to file it correctly. They will also be able to tell you any problems that people have and how to avoid them.

Question Them On Specific Changes

Third, you should know that your contractor might have to make some changes to the install depending on your house and climate. If you have read about the installation online, it might look slightly different. Trust them, they know what they are doing and they won’t go out of their way to make mistakes.

Are You Getting Enough?

Fourth, you should ask them if they think you are installing enough panels for what you want to do. They tend to have more direct contact with people who are adding in panels, so they will be able to tell you what other people in your area or situation are using. This is just one more way for you to make sure that you have made the right choice and the last chance for you to add in more panels if it turns out that you need more.

Overall, your solar energy contractor is looking to help you get the best possible deal and to switch yourself over to solar. They will work hard to make sure that your house is connected correctly, but they will also work with you to ensure that you have the best possible results with your new panels as well.
