Hello World! Welcome Friends! Millions of homeowners are replacing their roofs yearly, and many are adding solar simultaneously. Saving your energy bills while also helping the environment is an excellent idea. However, with numerous solar companies available, selecting the right Long Island solar company (or another one local to you) can take time and effort.
Reputation
The solar energy industry is booming, and it’s an ideal opportunity for roofing companies to diversify their offerings. Adding solar to your roofing business will allow you to target a new market and reach more homeowners. Before deciding, it’s essential to keep a few things in mind. Verifying that the solar company you select is licensed and certified is crucial. The specific licensure requirements differ by state but generally mandate roofer and building licenses or electrician certification. Becoming a member of a reputable organization, such as NABCEP, is also a good idea to demonstrate your commitment to excellence in the solar industry.
A strong reputation builds trust and customer loyalty, leading to more referrals, word-of-mouth advertising, and high-quality leads. A strong reputation is crucial for success in a competitive marketplace, and it’s critical to monitor and manage your reputation to protect your brand. There are five key components that every solar business needs to focus on to maintain an excellent reputation.
Experience
Roofing companies like Vista Roofer know roofs better than PV installers, and this knowledge comes in handy when performing the many roof penetrations required to complete a solar installation. This experience also enables roofers to spot potential red flags during the site inspection for a solar installation, which could save customers money and prevent leaks in their roofs after the solar system is installed.
Adding solar to your roofing business allows you to sell a combined package that increases customer value. You can start by offering a solar energy consultation to your roofing clients and then referring them to reputable local PV installers.
Some solar companies are known as “dealers,” meaning they sell equipment but outsource the engineering, project management, and installation work to a subcontractor. This can be problematic for consumers, as these dealers may not be around to handle any warranty or service work. However, you can avoid this risk by choosing a local solar company that is a direct installer with a warranty on the system.
Warranty
Many solar companies will cover the roof where the solar panels are installed for the duration of the solar panel warranty. This is important because roofing problems sometimes void a homeowner’s rooftop solar warranty. This is why it’s best to choose a solar company that also installs new roofs and has experience working with roofs and roofing materials.
This is especially helpful when replacing a roof that’s nearing the end of its lifespan. Solar installation and roofing are big jobs, and managing two large projects simultaneously is challenging. Choosing a roofing and solar company that offers both services can save homeowners money and make the entire project easier to handle.
Many homeowners are turning to solar power to save on electricity costs and reduce their carbon footprint. Solar roofs look like regular shingles, making them an attractive addition to any home. They also come with a 25-year warranty.
Pricing
Full-service solar providers do everything from manufacturing the equipment to installing it on roofs. These companies can provide more accurate estimates and offer home solar energy systems financing. This helps customers save money in the long run.
A roofing company installing PV systems can make the most of its existing customer base. It can easily talk up solar with roofing customers during on-site inspections or repair work and then sell those warm leads to reputable local installers.
Installing the right solar system can help homeowners reduce their electricity bills and become more environmentally responsible. The best way to choose a PV company is to look for one with an excellent reputation and testimonials from previous clients.
Also, the faster a solar salesperson can deliver a preliminary design proposal and the more accurate, it is, the better. This ensures fewer change orders for system redesign and less time spent on the jobsite.
