Find Solar Installers Near You

Compare at least 3 quotes, check reviews on Google and BBB, verify licensing and insurance, ask about NABCEP certification, compare warranty terms, and evaluate their experience with your specific utility and local permits. Price should be one factor among many — the cheapest quote isn't always the best value.

Both have advantages. Local installers often provide more personalized service and better knowledge of local permits. National companies may offer more financing options and standardized processes. We recommend getting quotes from both to compare value.

Ask about their licensing, insurance, and NABCEP certification. Ask how many installations they've completed, what equipment they use, their warranty terms, timeline, and what happens if something goes wrong. Also ask for references from recent customers in your area.

We recommend getting at least 3 quotes from different installers. This helps you compare pricing, equipment options, warranty terms, and customer service. Price differences of 10-20% between quotes are common.

A workmanship warranty covers the installation labor — roof penetrations, wiring, mounting, etc. This is separate from manufacturer warranties on panels (25 years), inverters (12-25 years), and batteries (10-15 years). Look for at least a 10-year workmanship warranty; 25 years is best-in-class.
