Switching to solar at home is an important decision. A solar system becomes part of your home, constantly generating and storing solar energy to power your home for years. And though a well-designed and properly installed solar panel system will usually pay for itself in a couple of years, the initial investment can be significant.
That’s why it's important that you have access to all the information you need when getting solar estimates. The best way to do this is by asking the right questions.
With our extensive experience in installing high-quality residential and commercial solar panels across Delaware, Star Enrg can help ensure that you maximize your investment. Let’s walk you through the top five questions to ask potential solar installers (including us!).
Understanding the appropriate size of the solar system for your home is crucial to ensure maximum efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
To answer this question, our team will assess several factors, including your energy usage, roof orientation, and available space. Only then are we able to recommend the right system size specific to your needs.
Inquire about the total costs of the solar system, including installation, equipment, permits, and any ongoing maintenance or monitoring fees. Additionally, ask about what financing options are available — purchase, lease, or power purchase agreements (PPA), etc, as well as the associated terms and conditions.
This will give you a better idea of what to expect in terms of financial obligations before, during, and after the process. At Star Enrg, we make sure to walk you through each cost item and maintain transparency every step of the way.
It’s important to get an estimated timeline for the solar system installation, so you can plan accordingly and ensure a smooth installation experience.
The actual time frame will depend on a number of factors, including the size of the building, all necessary permits, and interconnection processes. Our team works efficiently to ensure that your solar system is up and running within the agreed-upon timeline. If there will be any delays, we’ll be sure to communicate with you and keep you updated on milestones.
Asking for references or examples of past solar installations completed by the company can give you insights into their experience, expertise, and customer satisfaction. Requesting testimonials or checking online reviews can also help you gauge the company's reputation and reliability.
