We understand that it may get frustrating when trying to decipher hundreds upon hundreds of solar energy companies within Victoria and who has the best overall quote. That’s why the team at Energis has put together a shortlist of the 3 things to look out for when getting a solar energy quote.
The first thing to look out when getting a solar energy quote is the price. Generally speaking, if it’s too good to be true, then it probably is. If you receive a quote that is significantly less money for the same type of system, it is likely that the solar company is forgoing the quality of the installation, along with the products, level of customer service and the warranties accompanying your system.
By opting for a higher quality system, you can expect tier 1 components that tend to perform better when dealing with various levels of shading. You can also expect superior warranties and most importantly lowered degradation rates of your solar panels! At Energis, we may not be your cheapest quote, but we are the best quality.
Research and more research
One of the crucial things to do when getting a solar energy quote is to do your research on the brands of products. Want to know how to get the greatest solar energy system? Make sure that all products outlined in your proposal are Clean Energy Council (CEC) approved and comply with the Australian Standards. Also, it is very important to ensure you are only receiving quotes from companies that are CEC Approved Solar Retailers, with a good industry reputation and have been around for a significant amount of time. Ensure you are asking the sales consultants questions such as: “Is this just based on the standard solar packaged advertised?” Or “is it a custom system that has been tailored to my needs and wants, based on my electricity bill and usage?”
Read the terms and conditions…THOROUGHLY
It’s that simple, read the fine print. To avoid hidden costs, last-minute component switches and other nasty surprises, you need to ensure that you are checking the conditions of your system installation specified on your quote. Make sure you have a thorough understanding of each stage of the installation and how it will all play out. If your sales consultant cannot answer your questions, then it is in your best interest to go for a different company that you can trust.
