Lancaster County continues to lead the way for solar energy in Pennsylvania. Take a drive down the eastern portion of route 30 or go west on 283 and you will see solar systems both big and small. Many of the county’s businesses, farmers, and homeowners are investing in solar energy to eliminate an expense, save money, and help the environment.

You might be wondering: Why is a solar company like ours (Paradise Energy) writing a post about their competitors? Good question!

Paradise Energy Solutions is proud to call Lancaster County home, and it’s our mission to continue to help the community be good stewards of God’s abundant resources. Purchasing a solar system is a big investment, and it deserves your due diligence. That includes choosing a solar installation company that best fits your needs. The good news for Lancaster County residents is that there are a number of local solar installation companies that have made their home here.

Your installer will have a big impact on your overall satisfaction with solar energy. The installer could impact the aesthetics of your system, the system’s production, and long-term financial return on investment.

 

Five focus areas when researching solar companies:

1.  Reviews from their customers

Look at their Google Business Listing, Facebook page, and ask for customer references.

 

2.  Prior work experience

Do they have a history of quality and reliability? Have their systems stood the test of time?

 

3.  Warranty and guarantees

Look for an installer that goes above the typical manufacturer warranties to guarantee their work and the production of your system.

 

4.  Industry certifications

NABCEP (North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners) and SEI (Solar Energy International) are two leading solar organizations that provide professional certifications.

 

5.  Company mission and values

This will give you a glimpse into how a company functions and how you will be treated as a customer.
