Contact a  professional solar technician to help you supervise your roof and determine if is structurally sound to support the solar panel.

Choose the best price

Different companies offer different quotations for the installation of solar power. Therefore, it is important to ask different companies for their quotations and compare them to one another before you make your decision. ‘Compare the cost of installation, equipment, energy production, and many more. It is important to avoid extremely high and surprisingly low prices. A middle-range price is the best choice. You can also ask your friends and family to help you check if your estimate is reasonable” advises Boaz Augustin.

It is important to have a warranty on your solar panel, and all the other equipment used for the installation of your solar power. With the warranty, you hold the company accountable if anything happens to your installation and solar panel. The company will pay all the expenses for the damage. Every state also has an incentive program for solar rooftop panel installation that requires a warranty. Different warranty is also available for the installation, and solar panel equipment depending on your contract with the company.
