Hello Friends!

When considering solar panels, it’s important to approach the process with realistic expectations. Some installers may present overly optimistic estimates—promising more panels, higher energy output, or faster returns than what your roof can actually support.

Why This Happens

• Initial assessments may not account for shading, structural limitations, or regulatory constraints.
• Sales tactics sometimes emphasize best-case scenarios rather than practical realities.
• After a deposit is paid, installers might revise the plan, citing “calculation errors” or unforeseen restrictions.

How to Protect Yourself

1. Get Multiple Quotes – Compare proposals from different installers to spot inconsistencies. Cheaper doesn’t mean it will be good.
2. Ask for a Detailed Site Survey – Ensure they assess roof space, shading, and structural integrity before finalizing the plan.
3. Check Past Projects – Look for reviews or ask for case studies of similar installations.
4. Clarify Contract Terms – Ensure the agreement specifies panel count, expected output, and deposit refund policies if changes occur.
5. Avoid High-Pressure Deposits – Reputable installers won’t rush you into paying before confirming feasibility.

What If the Plan Changes After Deposit?

If an installer revises the proposal post-deposit:

• Request a full explanation for the adjustment.
• Negotiate a fair resolution—whether that’s a partial refund, system redesign, or cancellation with deposit return.
• Walk away if needed—better to lose a deposit than lock into an underperforming system.

The Bottom Line

A trustworthy solar provider will:
✔ Give realistic projections (not just optimistic ones).
✔ Conduct a proper site survey before taking payment.
✔ Be transparent if adjustments are needed.
