subject: Making Decisions On Selecting Residential Solar Power Systems [print this page] Residential solar power systems are increasing in popularity, and as the demand rises, so is the demand for installation companies - so how do you pick one? You will need to accomplish a few things first so you can select a reputable company to install a solar power system on your home. Here are a few tips and a set of things that you need to do in order to make an intelligent choice.
What you will need to do first is to compile a list of the companies that have caught your attention, companies that install residential solar power systems. Compare all of them with one another first. Doing so will help you to highlight the strengths of each company and will tell you what you are going to get for your investment.
After you have the list prepared, then you will have to do a little bit of homework and read about every company that interests you. Pare down your choices to about 4 or so companies that you think are the best. Then you will need to do some research on and off line to find reviews on each company, especially taking note of what their customers have to say about the work done to install their residential solar energy systems. If you think about it, if there have been negative experiences, someone will bother to complain. Check forums to see what you can find.
Another fantastic resource for reviews and such is to check the BBB. The BBB records complaints against companies in the area, and you want to make sure that the company you choose has a clean record of installing solar energy systems. If there are complaints registered against a company, you obviously should re-consider their candidacy on your project.
Finally, you will need to personally contact the companies and fire away any of your questions. Be sure your company is willing to hear you out and spend some time with you if you have concerns. Customer service, or lack thereof, can speak volumes about a company and what you should expect if you choose them.
After all of these are accomplished, you then will have a better understanding of the company or companies that should install residential solar energy systems on your home and others'. This is a decision that will take some time to make if you want the best results, so choose carefully. This way you can find a company that has installed solar power systems the right way, the first time.
