What Local Solar Installers Provide

Reputable Solar Installers
Although cliche, this is true for solar. And the biggest installers don’t always score the highest or maintain top reputations. In fact, some face national scrutiny at times. Installers may frequently change suppliers or product manufacturers, without necessarily informing their customers. Others, like SunRa Solar, Inc., chose to work with limited suppliers in an effort to establish robust and long term relationships for both price and quality. In our opinion, reputable solar installers should strive to do the following:
- Stay current with advances in solar technology. An installer doesn't necessarily need to know what is happening at the research and development level. But we best serve customers by knowing what improvements have been made that deliver better performance AND value. Just being newer and more expensive is not always best.
- Keep in touch with local and national regulations. Codes, rules, and requirements change at every level. In some cities and towns, rules have been improved and optimized to make going solar easier. Permitting can be quick and efficient. Not every town is the same.
- Learn from experience. The longer we have been in practice, the more we learn. Installers should constantly refine practices from design to the smallest details during installation. The goal will always be to deliver the highest performance at the best value. And after years of serving the area, we still find ways to do the job better.
A reputable solar installer does not necessarily do more work or know more than another installer. However, a local company must build upon reputation. Solar energy systems must be reliable and productive. Business practices must ensure that the product and workmanship are always approaching the highest quality possible. Local companies like SunRa Solar rely more on the satisfaction of each customer. Where larger regional or national solar installers might tolerate unhappy customers by simply selling more, a more focused and reputable firm will more often do what is in the best interest of each customer. Nothing or no one promotes a company better than its customers.
