Most solar panel installations require a little research to find a reliable installer, who will carry out the installation for you.
Check MCS Accreditation
The installer should hold MCS accreditation, as this will allow them to complete the installation to a suitable quality and for you to claim the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) and receive money for surplus electricity exported to the grid.
Read the Quote Carefully
Any solar panel installer quote should contain details about how the solar panel installation cost was worked out, and how much the installation of each component (e.g. solar panels, inverter, mounting, labour) costs. Find out what additional work could be required to complete the solar panel installation, and get a clear quote on how much that will cost (and when it will be charged to you).
Look for Local Experience and Reviews
An installer who has worked regularly in your area will understand local roof styles, planning considerations, and grid connection requirements. For Solar Panel Installation Portishead, choosing someone with a track record in the town and surrounding area is sensible. Check Google or Trustpilot reviews and ask whether the company can point you to recent local jobs.
Ask About Aftercare and Monitoring
Make sure your solar panel installation company will provide you with adequate after sales service and monitoring of your system. Ask what sort of monitoring service they will provide and make sure they can tell you what to do if your system is not performing as expected.
Spot the Red Flags
High-pressure sales tactics, large upfront cash deposits and refusal to enter into a written contract all point to you making a mistake by signing up for a solar panel installation.
