Choosing the Right Solar Company

There are a number of solar energy manufacturing companies now selling products to homeowners and newer companies continue to enter the market as the renewable energy sector reaches all time growth heights. Choosing the right solar manufacturer is key to making sure that you install a safe, reliable, and cost-effective solar solution on your home. Here are some tips to consider when looking for a solar manufacturing company.

• Experience - The best companies in the industry have been performing solar installations for years. Look for a company that has been in business for a minimum of 10 years so you know they have experience.
• Made in the USA - Support your country by purchasing solar products made here in the USA. The quality of these products will be far better than anything purchased oveseas.
• Quality - You will always get a better product when all of the pieces of the product are made in-house by the same manufacturer. Buy from a manufacturer that produces the solar cells, wafers, and panels themselves rather than outsourcing the production of those items.
• Warranty - A great product will have a great warranty. The best solar companies on the market have a warranty of at least 20 years to cover any potential issues you may have with your residential solar system.

In addition, many manufacturers are also the installers of the solar energy products. This means that a highly trained crew that understands the product will be installing the solar system on your home. Solar installations are very technical and having a reliable and trustworthy company performing the work on your home will ensure a very confident and seamless process so you can enjoy your new solar investment.
