How can I avoid phony installers?

Even with the federal rebate, buying a home energy system costs real money so make sure you do your homework and are confident with the decisions you make.

Answer

When picking an installer, be sure to get at least three quotes from Clean Energy Council (CEC) licensed installers. Battery installers must be specifically accredited for battery installations. Look at your installers’ online reviews and check how long they have been in the business.

Another consideration is whether they are prepared to visit your property and give tailored advice to meet your needs? When they do visit, ask plenty of questions - especially about any special concerns or requirements you are looking for (like off grid capability) and the brands they rely on. All batteries must be listed on the Clean Energy Council-approved product list and so must new inverters.  

When picking brands, you can find helpful advice at Solar Quotes on the best home batteries, the best solar panels and reputable installers in your area including customer reviews.
