This time of year is ideal for harvesting the energy contained in the sun rays. Why? Days are getting longer and temperatures are still cool compared to later in the summer. Have you considered installing solar panels on your home. If so there are a few things to know about solar panel installation. Chubb Insurance and other companies we represent offer coverage for solar panels and other renewable energy solutions.
Tips for choosing a Solar Panel Installation Company
- Ask the solar company for proof of Insurance; for General Liability and Workers Comp.
- Request and a written proposal and contract, before agreeing to any work.
- Read through the entire contract before signing.
- Determine who will be responsible for repairs and or maintenance once the panels are installed.
Other Points to Remember
- Remote monitoring systems for the panels can be installed. These devices identify problems with the panels before they become a bigger issue. They can even locate which panel may be defective or inhibited in some way.
- Before choosing a contractor you will need to gather certain information like, age of the roof and if the roof is in need of repair. Panels add weight to the roof, and need to be accounted for.
- Panels harvest sun rays and turn them into electrical current. They are dangerous when on, or plugged in so consult a professional before attempting to make any adjustments.
