Going Solar Made Easy

1. Going Solar Made Easy

2. The advantages of switching to solar power are so compelling that there are many people out there wanting to have a solar system installed (or at least find out if their home or business is suitable – and most are), but who remain a little unsure as to how to go about doing so. To help support and preserve the planet while saving money on your energy bills, here are four simple steps to making the switch to solar:

3. 1. Locate a reliable and local solar provider Going local is always best when it comes to solar providers, not least because they understand your climate and regional diversity, but because they’ll be close at hand should any problems arise with your system. But, with so many solar providers out there, how do you choose the right one? Here are some tips for finding a solar provider: Check out online customer or industry reviews on platforms such as Solar Reviews, the Better Business Bureau or Google Look at their social media presence – do they have one and do they engage well with customers? ● ●

4. Do they offer any financing options? ● 2. Choose a financing option You might want to compare your financing options before choosing a solar provider, since each will have different ways in which you can pay for your solar installation over a certain period of time. As a significant investment, you’ll want to carefully review your financing options and discuss them in detail with your chosen provider.

5. 3. Coordinate proposal, scheduling and design Now that you’ve chosen a reputable solar provider who can offer you a viable financing option, it’s time to get the ball rolling and request an estimate of how much the installation will cost, and you can also schedule an appointment to discuss your customized solar array in finer detail. That said, just because you’ve gotten to this point, doesn’t necessarily mean that you want to continue; if you’re not happy with the quote you’ve been given, or have simply changed your mind, a good solar provider will allow you to walk away and not hassle you in the future.

6. If, however, you’re happy with the offer and are satisfied with the proposal you’ve been given, you can simply let the installation team get on with what they do best: gaining necessary permit approvals and partnering with utilities, for example. 4. Installation and activation Once the necessary permits have been gained and your utility company are up to speed, it’s time for your solar system to be professionally installed and activated. Installations are usually completed within a day (typically a few hours) and are only ever carried out by experienced technicians and electricians.

7. Once the panels are up, they’ll then be inspected by someone from the local utility company and hooked up to the grid. Once this has been done, your solar system is good to go! While having a solar system installed is a relatively simple process, the decision to make the switch to solar requires lengthy consideration and research, particularly in finding a reputable provider.
