You might know that solar power can actually be a lucrative investment opportunity; however, what you would most likely not be aware of is the fact that finding a reliable solar power company is nothing less than a nightmare. There are many companies that claim to offer the best, and in the wake of this abundance, separating the good from the bad is certainly no cakewalk. However, you can easily find a reliable company if you consider a few important things; these include but are not limited to:
· Specialization – You should try to find any such company that offers end-to-end solutions, and can help you in making the most of this opportunity. By and large, any solar power company should specialize in all the major aspects of solar power including:
a) Site development
b) Planning
c) Electrical work
d) Construction
e) Commissioning
· Options – Believe it or not but you need not necessarily develop your own solar project; rather, you can lease your land for one. You should explore these options when narrowing down the solar energy installers; it goes without saying that you should preferably opt for a company that offers both these options, and lets you make your own choice.
· Expected output – The average output can range anywhere between 10 kilowatt to multi kilowatts; choose an installer that can provide you with relevant options which have the capability to generate the desired output. It is advisable to crosscheck the output beforehand, and not to fall prey to false claims.
· Impact on the surroundings – Any company that can minimize the impact on the surroundings (read: animals & birds, local residents, natural habitats et al) associated with its developments is certainly the ideal one. It goes without saying that you must choose such a company without any inhibitions.
· Prerequisites – A conventional solar farm would require you to take care of vegetation management, access, landscape character, inverter housing, and security. You should focus on such energy installers that can help you with these prerequisites, and has considerable experience in mounting panels and racks.
· Membership – Try to zero in on a company that holds the membership of REA (Renewable Energy Association), BWEA, and other such prestigious entities. Believe it or not but memberships speak volumes about the reputation of a company.
