Choosing the Right Solar Panel Installer: Tips and Recommendations 

 

With the rising costs of energy and growing environmental concerns, solar panel installation has become an attractive option for many Australian homeowners. At GI Energy, we understand that choosing the right solar panel installer can make all the difference in ensuring you get the most out of your investment. With over a decade of experience in the industry, we’re here to guide you through the process with some valuable tips and recommendations. 

 

 

Why Choose Solar? 

 

Before diving into how to choose the right installer, it’s important to understand why solar panel installation is a smart choice. Solar energy offers numerous benefits, including: 

• Cost Savings: The primary motivator for most homeowners, solar panels can significantly reduce your electricity bills. Over time, the savings can add up to a substantial amount, making solar a financially savvy decision. 

• Environmental Impact: While the main driver for many is cost savings, reducing your carbon footprint is a commendable bonus. Solar energy is a clean, renewable resource that helps decrease greenhouse gas emissions. 

• Energy Independence: With solar panels and an added battery, you become less reliant on the grid, which can be especially beneficial during peak times or in case of power outages. 

Tips for Choosing the Right Solar Panel Installer 

 

Selecting the right installer is crucial to ensure a smooth and successful solar panel installation. Here are some tips to help you make an informed decision: 

Experience and Longevity 

The solar industry is relatively young, with many companies coming and going. When evaluating potential installers, consider their experience and longevity. At GI Energy, we have been trading since 2011, a testament to our stability and expertise in an industry where the average trading time is only 2.2 years. Our long-standing presence means we have a proven track record and a wealth of knowledge to ensure a successful installation. 

Customer Care and Support 

Solar panel installation is a significant investment, and you want to be sure that your installer will be there for you long after the panels are installed. Choose a company that places a strong emphasis on after-installation customer care. At GI Energy, we pride ourselves on treating our customers like family, providing ongoing support and maintenance to ensure your system operates efficiently for years to come. 

Reputation and Credibility 

A company’s reputation is a strong indicator of their reliability and quality of service. Look for installers with a solid reputation and credible testimonials. GI Energy is a trusted name in the industry, having worked with a long list of national clients, including city councils and large publicly listed multinational companies. Our credibility and ethical business practices have earned us the trust and loyalty of many satisfied customers. 

 

Certifications and Accreditation 

Ensure that your installer has the necessary certifications and accreditations to perform solar panel installations unlike other non accredited installers. In Australia, reputable installers should be accredited by the Clean Energy Council (CEC). This certification ensures that the installer meets industry standards and adheres to best practices. GI Energy’s team of installers are fully accredited, giving you peace of mind that your installation will be handled by qualified professionals. 

 

 

Also, as a solar retailer, we are also NETCC accredited. This accreditation serves as an overall company accreditation, which works in addition to the abovementioned CEC installer accreditation.  

 

 

Customized Solutions 

Every home is different, and a one-size-fits-all approach rarely works in solar panel installation. Above all, look for installers who offer customized solutions tailored to your specific needs and circumstances. At GI Energy, we design systems based on a detailed assessment of your property, energy usage, and future goals, ensuring that you get the most efficient and cost-effective solution. 

 

Quality of Products 

 

The quality of the solar panels and other components used in your system is crucial for long-term performance and reliability. Moreover, opt for installers who use high-quality, reputable brands. At GI Energy, we only use top-tier products that have been rigorously tested and proven to deliver excellent performance. This ensures that your investment is protected and your system remains efficient for many years.
