10 Most Important Questions to ask your solar panels installer

1. What is the best location for placing solar panels on my roof? (South/East/West orientation, pitch, shading analysis)
2. How big of a solar system do I need to offset my energy consumption and reduce my electricity bill?
3. Do I have to replace my roof prior to installing solar panels and will I need any reinforcing to support extra load from solar panels?
4. Is my electrical service panel large enough for solar load to be added? Are there any upgrades required to safely interconnect my system with the utility?
5. What kind of subsidies and financing options are available (PACE program, zero-down solar lease, loan, etc.)?
6. How many solar panels systems have you installed in Alberta, and can you provide any past references?
7. What type of components are you proposing to install (solar panels, string inverters, micro inverters, energy optimizers, etc.) and will there be any maintenance required?
8. What is the total cost of the solar panels system, including equipment, labour, necessary approvals, permits, and fees?
9. How can I monitor performance of my system, and make sure it matches your estimates for energy generation and payback period?
10. Will you help me submit my application for Alberta Government solar rebates (RCSP program), file for necessary permits, and work with my electricity company to arrange connection to the grid?
