What should I look for in a solar installer?

It’s a solar installer’s job to take into consideration your individual circumstances – your household’s energy needs and usage habits, your location and your budget, among other factors – and recommend a solar system that works for you. Not all solar installers will provide you with the same options or at the same cost. It’s important to get more than one quote before deciding on an installer. Word-of-mouth recommendations are a good way to find a good solar installer, as are online reviews.
