1. Contact Randolph EMC
To fully understand the process, contact your trusted Home Energy Advisors. This will help you get the best return on your investments.
2. Learn your home's energy use
Review kWh usage for the past 12 to 24 months on your electric bills and calculate the average monthly usage.
3. Location, Location, Location
Start considering panel location. Assess the age, size, and condition of your roof as well as available ground space.
4. Get several quotes
There are costs other than equipment, such as permitting, installation, and inspection. Make sure all costs are included in the quotes.
5. Do your homework
Ensure the contractor has installers who are trained and certified to install solar. Be leery of big promises, such as eliminating your electric bill. In most scenarios, that's simply not true.
