A good solar installer surveys your site properly, designs the system for your roof and connection, uses approved products, handles the paperwork and supports you after installation. Use this checklist when comparing quotes.
Before the quote
- Site visit: do they inspect the roof, shading, structure and switchboxard?
- Load check: do they review your bills and sanctioned load?
- Clear design: panel count, inverter model, string layout and mounting structure.
In the quote
- Brand and model of panels, inverter and any battery.
- ALMM and BIS status where relevant to your project.
- Earthing, lightning protection, and DC and AC protection (surge protection and isolators).
- Cable sizes and mounting structure material.
- Who handles net-metering and other approvals.
- Timelines and payment stages.
After installation
- Commissioning report and monitoring setup.
- Warranty documents and serial numbers.
- Service contact and response commitments.
Red flags
- No site visit before quoting.
- Unnamed or unbranded equipment. Pressure to sign quickly.
- Generation promises far above what a calculator suggests.
