What research should you do before selecting a solar power system or solar installer?

Picking the right solar installation company can be a daunting task, unlike buying a car where you can easily compare different brands. With solar, it can be challenging to differentiate between a good and poor installation. It's crucial to choose a reputable company with proven warranties to ensure you get the best value for your investment.

When choosing a solar company, it's essential to research and investigate the company's background. Check their ABN and how long they've been in business to ensure they have enough experience and knowledge to install your solar panels correctly. Since solar is still a relatively new industry, it's essential to be cautious and pick a company that you can trust with your investment.

Yeah picking the difference between a great installation and a poor installation can be quite difficult. It's not like purchasing a car where you know the brand that you're going to go down and pick. You know a Toyota, you know of a Kia. You know the differences between what you can afford. With the solar industry, even my mates, I say, what's a brand of solar? They've got no idea. Having a company which is a known brand with big warranties, and having a local company, gives you assurance. When it comes to the actual panels, most of the panels that you're going to be looking at you've never heard of before. I think it's because cause solar is still relatively new, so it's quite difficult to know, okay, what's a good panel and what's a bad panel.

When you're out there trying to pick between all these companies, I suggest having a look at the company who's going to be putting the products in for you. Do a quick ABN search, see how long the company has actually been in business for. They may have only just started 12 months ago. Have a look into the company that's going to to be putting in your investment. It's an investment that's going to be lasting a long time. So do a little bit of due diligence and research who the company's going to be.
