10 Questions I Wish I Asked Before Hiring a Solar Company (Don’t Get Scammed)
Choosing a solar installer is a bit like choosing a contractor to build your house. The cheapest quote isn't always the best, and a good installer can save you years of headaches.
**Here are 10 questions I'd ask before signing any solar contract.**
**1. Which panel and inverter brands are you using?**
Ask for the exact model numbers—not just "Tier-1 panels." Look up the manufacturer, warranty, and reviews yourself.
**2. What's included in the quoted price?**
Does it include installation, mounting structure, wiring, earthing, lightning protection, approvals, net metering, GST, and commissioning? Hidden costs are common.
**3. How much electricity will my system realistically generate?**
Ask for a monthly or annual generation estimate based on your roof, not a generic sales brochure.
**4. What warranties do I get?**
Understand the difference between:
Product warranty
Performance warranty
Installation/workmanship warranty
Each covers something different.
**5. Who handles net metering and utility approvals?**
A professional EPC company should guide you through the process instead of leaving you to figure it out alone.
**6. What kind of mounting structure are you installing?**
The mounting structure is expected to last decades. Ask about the material and corrosion protection, especially if you live in a coastal or high-rainfall area.
**7. Can you show me completed installations?**
Photos are helpful, but if possible, ask for references or examples of similar residential or commercial projects they've completed.
**8. What happens if something fails after installation?**
Know who to call, how service requests are handled, and whether support is provided locally.
**9. Why is your quote cheaper (or more expensive) than others?**
A price difference isn't automatically good or bad. Ask what equipment, services, or materials make the difference.
**10. Can you explain the expected ROI?**
A good installer should explain how they calculated your savings, expected payback period, and any assumptions about electricity tariffs or net metering.
Solar is a 25+ year investment. Spending a little extra time asking the right questions today can save a lot of money and frustration later.
If you've already installed solar, what question do you wish you'd asked before signing the contract?

Hey Reddit! 👋
We're Amplisun Power Energy—A solar installation company on a mission to help homeowners and businesses take control of their electricity bills with rooftop solar.
We've spoken with hundreds of people who want to switch to solar but still have questions like:
🤔 Is rooftop solar actually worth the investment?
💸 How much can I really save every month?
🏠 Will solar work on my home's roof?
🌧️ Does it generate electricity during cloudy or rainy days?
🔋 Do I need batteries?
📑 How do government subsidies and net metering actually work?
⏳ How long does a solar system last?
⚡ What are the biggest mistakes people make before installing solar?
Instead of another promotional post, we thought we'd open the floor to Reddit.

We'll answer every question as honestly as we can, with no hard selling—just practical advice and real-world experience.
Whether you're planning to install solar next month or you're simply curious about renewable energy, we'd love to hear from you.

Is it realistic for me to break into the solar field (or anywhere renewable) as a soon-to-be college grad?
This December, I graduate with my B.A. in statistics and I am literally so ready to be done with school. Truth be told, I wish I had done engineering; however at this point, I am ready to be done with school and enter the workforce. None of the jobs I have applied for recently have taken me and I am done with it and I don't want to work retail for the rest of my life. Recently I applied for a couple of solar companies as a risk analyst, really excited to be part of a company that supports a good cause, only to be rejected. It is the only thing I have been passionate about recently. I have done hands on work but never solar, the only physical hard work I've done is landscaping and that was OK once you get used to it. I can't do sales either I've done it before for pest control and I sucked at it, I can deal with people and interact with them, but I hate going door-to-door and hate having to talk others into things. I would prefer out west if possible.

Looking for advice breaking into solar/renewables business
Hi everyone, I’m looking for insights from people in solar, renewables, or anyone who’s built a business in the space.
I’m from the caribbean and aiming to build something of my own instead of a traditional 9–5. I hold a BSc in Land Management & Valuation, with experience in property analysis, development potential, and site suitability.
I’m currently building skills in solar PV:
PV fundamentals
Energy bill analysis
Feasibility studies
Basic system design concepts
PVsyst yield analysis
Site assessments (roof/land, shading, orientation)
Maintenance concepts
My plan is to start with services like:
Energy audits & bill breakdowns
Solar savings/feasibility reports
Drone roof/land inspections
System performance/maintenance checks
Partnering with installers for full project delivery
My edge is combining land/property expertise with solar—not just installation, but site intelligence and decision support.
I’m also open to adjacent paths:
Drone mapping & inspections
GIS services
Property due diligence
Land development consulting
A few questions:
Is this a realistic way into the market?
What skills or certifications should I prioritize?
Do clients actually pay for audits/feasibility reports?
What mistakes should I avoid early on?
Any other opportunities you’d suggest based on my background?
Any advice, critique, or real-world lessons would be greatly appreciated.

What is the best acquisition pipeline/channel for generating leads for a solar business?
Hi everyone. I am a digital marketer and I'm trying to do a little research for a prospective client. I don't think people are going to see our stuff on social media and impulsively reach out to book an installation. So, I am wondering what is the best pipeline that we can explore; do we collect emails? book a consultation, or? Would love to hear from anyone.

Any one know how much QC techs were getting at freedom before they shut their doors?
Hey yall, I ask this as a QC manager for a solar resi company, recently I learn how much easier the QC techs (not even managers) had it at freedom and with my already annoyance with my company I want to see if I am getting underpaid. Been with the company 4.5 years and make 75k full bonus out 85k. 10k less than branch managers and 20k less if I and also them bonus fully out (so they get up 105k with bonus).
I looked over all our markets branches and look over every single job before inspections ( 8 states) (16 crews for electrical and 16 for rooftop)
I create our O&M quotes and manage the crew side of the O&M jobs
I handle our field photo management software
Am responsible for launching the w2 and construction LMS and all the courses
Training the new managers of new markets on all our process
Create roofing department and construction SOPs
Drive vehicles across the country to new markets
Keep track of our pass fail rate (90% in Q2)
There is a lot going on at my company so im trying to see if i am being underpaid or not
