Unfortunately there are still cowboys lurking around, so if you aren\u2019t vigilant you could suffer. <\/p>\n<p>So to make things easy, we\u2019ve compiled 10 tips you should be following when it comes to selecting the right solar panel installer for the job. <\/p>\n<p>Take a look below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>1.<\/strong>\tEnsure the installer actually looks at your roof and inspects the condition it\u2019s in.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2.<\/strong>\tYour hot water cylinder will also need to be looked at to make sure it can be changed and the new one will fit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>3.<\/strong>\tYour hot water usage should also be questioned; be wary if installers don\u2019t ask about your personal water usage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>4.<\/strong>\tSomething you should never do is sign-up on the day. No matter how much pressure is put on you (and steer clear of companies who use pressure tactics), give yourself time to think everything through.<\/li>\n<li><strong>5.<\/strong>\tMake sure you always compare quotes between a number of companies. This gives you an opportunity to get the best price.<\/li>\n<li><strong>6.<\/strong>\tEach solar installation should be different, so ensure your personal considerations have been taken into account.\n<li>\n<li><strong>7.<\/strong>\tTry to get some referrals from past customers. This will put your mind at ease and also ensure you\u2019re using the right company.<\/li>\n<li><strong>8.<\/strong>\tAvoid getting a direct quote online as your home and situation needs to be inspected to give an accurate reflection in price.<\/li>\n<li><strong>9.<\/strong>\tAvoid companies providing large solar collectors and small cylinders. Whilst you always have a full tank, efficiency levels can be low.<\/li>\n<li><strong>10.<\/strong>\tJust so you know, installing a solar system should be a two day job. The first day will be setting up all the roof work, whilst day two will be fitting the actual solar system and installing the cylinder and connecting pipework.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Facts &amp;
