What Makes a Good Solar Company?
Look for MCS certification (mandatory for government incentives), RECC membership (consumer protection), in-house installation teams, verifiable reviews, and transparent pricing. Avoid companies that use aggressive sales tactics or won't provide a written quote.
National vs Local Installers
Large national companies offer brand recognition but often subcontract installations. Local MCS-certified installers like Greentech Renewables use their own teams, offer faster response times, and provide more personalised service. Both can deliver quality — but check who actually does the install.
How to Compare Quotes
Get 2-3 quotes and compare like-for-like: same panel wattage, same inverter brand, same warranty terms. Check what's included — scaffolding, DNO notification, MCS registration. The cheapest quote isn't always best; focus on total value over the system's 25+ year lifespan.
