Solar Companies: Three Things to Expect

According to studies, 55% of the worldwide renewable energy is solar. You’ve decided to go solar, congratulations! but with so many solar companies to choose from, how do you know which one is best for you?

Making the switch to solar can be a big decision. Not only are you investing in clean, renewable energy, but you’re also choosing a company that will be responsible for installing and maintaining your system.

Want to find a company suited to your needs? Keep reading to learn three things you need to expect when working with a solar company.

1. Full-service Solar Providers

These solar energy companies handle almost everything related to your new systems, such as design and financing. You’ll get customizable solutions at very competitive rates.

This means there is less risk on your end; after all, these local solar companies have been in the business of selling and installing solar panels for years. They usually carry insurance against damages that may occur during the installation process and will apply for all permits needed (if any).

You only need to decide where you want your solar panels placed and how many you’re interested in.

2. Solar Leasing Companies

These companies handle just the leasing agreement. This will help because they’ll supply and install the necessary equipment for free as long as you agree to pay for it for a certain number of years.

If you don’t like the terms of your lease, this company won’t worry about resale or installation. However, they usually offer more flexible contracts than other providers – such as shorter leases – so it’s worth asking.

Many customers report great customer service from these providers. It may be worth asking if anything can be done about any problems that come up during installation.

For example, if there is damage to your roof, the provider may be willing to pay for repairs.

3. Solar Financing Companies

This is a slightly different type of company that just offers to finance and expects you to take care of installation and service yourself. They offer competitive rates and short-term plans so it’s easy to pay off what you owe.

Locations where solar energy is becoming very popular usually have dozens of financing companies ready to finance your new system.

You can find out how much power will cost with or without leasing, as well as how much money you’ll save in the long run by going solar – which should help you decide your next step.

Get quotes from several solar panel companies before deciding on one; also check online reviews or ask friends and family to help you determine the value of solar.
