3 Questions to Ask Solar Panel Installation Specialists

So you’re thinking of going solar and looking into your options and local solar panel installation specialists? Perhaps you’ve weighed up how much money you could save? Maybe you’re interested in how you can sell your excess energy back to the grid? You may also be eager to find ways of lowering your carbon footprint and selecting technology that can help you do that.

TLGEC have been in the solar business for over 10 years. We are solar panel installation specialist in the South East. We’ve seen all sorts of projects, heard all sorts of questions and have been privileged to be a part of customer’s buying decisions.

Choosing a solar pv solution is important, afterall it will be with you for years. We also see lots of hype, trends and provider/installation companies come and go. We’re sharing our top 3 questions that you should ask potential providers/installers when looking to purchase a system for your home or business.

3 simple questions to ask solar panel installation specialists when you’re shopping for solar

1.How much energy will my panels produce?

Not all solar is created equal. For example, we are a premier installer of SunPower solar panels and it takes 25 conventional panels to produce the same amount of energy as just 18 SunPower panels. That means a more attractive compact system on your roof and more space to grow; who knows maybe there’s an electric car in your future.

2.How long will my system last?

Many systems and panels will have different life spans depending on the manufacturer. The reason that we often recommend SunPower systems to our customer is because they are designed to last up to 40 years. Due to them being inherently stronger, SunPower also guarantee the excellence of their systems providing a second to none warranty. Along with asking how long your solar system will last, also understand the warranties available.

3. Who makes my solar panels?

This is such an important question because many solar companies will only manufacture panels, they will not own the design of the panels. The benefit of choosing solar panels that are designed and manufactured by the same company is the knowledge of their expertise, latest technology and design and quality. As we have mentioned, we like the SunPower system for the fact they design and manufacture their panels. Through a rigid commitment to quality SunPower holds the world record for the highest efficiency solar panel.

Managing Information Overload

There are many products and suppliers in the market. Information overload can be overwhelming. We have earned the respect and business of our customers in the South East through providing practical and impartial advice. We only recommend solutions that we know would work for our customer’s needs. It’s this attitude that has earned us a 5* Checkatrade rating and why our customers refer us over and over.
