Companies are increasingly aware of their carbon footprint and are striving to incorporate sustainability into their business practices and operations, opening many doors to a variety of sustainability careers. One of the professions in the sector that is experiencing great growth is that of PV installer.
The process of putting a photovoltaic plant into operation must be done only by an installer partner with a team of qualified and certified professionals.
How can you choose a professional installer who implements high-quality technologies allowing for the expected return on investment?
The quick answer is by researching multiple installers.
Here are some of the most important factors to consider:
Professional certification of PV installer
Make sure the installer you choose is licensed, bonded and insured to install PV plants. Ask if they will be using subcontractors on your project and check the credentials of the subcontractors as well.
Reliability and experience
Look for installers who are experienced in installing solar equipment and are familiar with all aspects of the process. A good rule of thumb is to work with installers who have at least three years of experience. Ask them how long they have been in business and how many solar power systems they have installed. In fact, ask a lot of questions, including: What modules are they using and why? Can they clearly explain what funding you can expect and how it works? What can they tell you about warranty coverage if there is a problem with a component or the power system after commissioning?
Safety
Another important reason to hire a professional FTC installer is safety. Solar panels require electrical components that should only be handled after certain qualifications. Working at height is also subject to additional personnel training.
Transparency
There should be no mystery about the work being done on your project. Your installer should inform you in advance about the process and be ready to answer any questions you may have at any time. Also, if your installer uses subcontractors, make sure you know what parts of the project they will handle and what supervision they will provide.
Specifying the condition of the roof before starting installation activities
When you hire an installation company, one of the first things they need to assess is the condition of your roof. Ask your installer if they recommend roof repairs prior to installation. Also, make sure you are aware of who is responsible for roof damage that may occur or a roof leak if one develops.
Reputation and referrals
Read online reviews from past customers of the company. The PV installer you are considering should be able to refer you to previous customers who will share their experience with the installation. As you compare, installers should demonstrate their ability to communicate clearly and help you understand how your system will work.
Pricing
Installers will likely have different rates for the same job, so comparing quotes from several companies is important. The most experienced installers will come to inspect your business and then give you a quote based on the expected installation, energy usage and other factors.
