Discover what your actual power needs are, what they will be in the future, and how that aligns with the rules set forth by your power company. Utility companies are changing the way your system works with the grid, so it is crucial to get a system that leaves the power company POWERLESS over you. People must work with a solar company that understands exactly how to do this.

The fact of the matter is there is no one size fits all system. Too many contractors are asking their customers to sign a contract before anyone knows the actual results the system is going to provide. The first person that visits your home should not be a sales person. It should be a professional tradesperson that completes a full examination of your home to bring back to an engineering team. Only then can an accurate design be completed and a true offer actually made. 

Find a company that can actually DELIVER on every promise they are making. There should never be a promise made that can’t be put into the contract. It’s a huge red flag anytime a promise is made that is not in bold black and white writing. People need to make sure the power production guarantee is legitimate, and not just a “degradation warranty” being disguised as a production guarantee.
