You have to be careful. If a solar company goes out of business, other companies will not service it. Ask people in your area what company they use, and how long they have been in business.

Where are you located? Where I am, our municipal offices have lists of approved companies who can work in our area and who have grants or other assistance programs.

I would hope where you are there is the same. This is not something you just shop the internet for (at least where I am).

Best wishes for your conversion!! I know my neighbor loves his conversion and saves a ton of money.

Usually it takes several years to start realizing savings from solar panels but the upfront cost can be a shock to some people.
Check this out first as up-front costs are based on the size of your house and other factors.

Once you have decided this is what you want to do then you can check places like Home Depot, Lowe's before you contact independent contractors as these companies have been around for many years and, hopefully, will still be here when your warranty ends (many years).

You can also contact the Better Business Bureau to see what complaints have been lodged against any contractors in your area. Always check the BBB when you are considering hiring someone and also go online and do a Google check 'complaints with name of contraction/company.

This is a really big move so take your time so you'll know you are getting the best deal.

First, I hope you live in an area with abundant sunlight.
You need to look up how much electricity you use. Your energy usage will determine how many panels youll need on your roof. Keep in mind your future use. The more information you have on your usage, the more accurate an estimate you can get from installers.
