One of the initial questions to ask yourself is who can install solar panels correctly and how are you going to pick the best company to install them?

Before agreeing to an installation, here are a few things that should be looked into. Solar panels are an investment in the long term, so it is logical to consider the longer term value beyond the initial quotation and what an installer is actually offering.

Confirm the installer’s credentials first.

When looking into solar companies, ensure that the installer is certified to perform certain solar installations. In the UK, the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) is a name that should be known for domestic renewable energy installations.

When comparing companies, it can be a helpful place to start with if they’re an installer that’s MCS certified. But it’s important to do more than just check the certificate. Also, make sure to check out the proposed system, installation procedure and terms of the company.

Compare More Than the Price

You should obtain multiple quotes in order to get an idea of the choices available in Aberdeen. But just going with the lowest one may not be the best deal.

Carefully read each quotation. Review the equipment included, if installation and electrical connections are part of the quote and if the proposed system is clearly explained.

Various installers will suggest various types of panels, inverter systems or installation techniques. The details in each one make it easier to grasp why it is that one quotation might be more expensive than another.

Consider Your Property

The solar installation must be proportionate to the building it is to be installed in. What is practical can vary depending on roof size, roof orientation, shading and the condition of the roof.

Another factor to take into account is your electricity consumption. If a family consumes the majority of its electrical power during the day, it is likely to require something different than a family that consumes the majority of its electrical power during the evening.
