How to Choose the Right Solar Contractor in New Jersey

Choosing the right solar contractor is one of the most important steps in your solar journey. A poor choice can lead to delays, hidden costs, or even unsafe installations. Here are five things every homeowner in New Jersey should consider before signing a contract.

Check Licensing and Insurance

In New Jersey, solar contractors are required to be licensed. Insurance protects both your property and the workers on-site. Hiring an unlicensed or uninsured contractor can expose you to liability and invalidate warranties.

Ask About Experience

A contractor’s track record matters. Look for companies that have successfully completed projects similar to yours, whether it’s a straightforward install or a complex removal and reinstallation (R&R).

Understand the Warranty

Not all warranties are equal. Equipment warranties cover panels and inverters, while workmanship warranties protect against installation errors. SLM Solar offers a 5-year workmanship warranty, far exceeding many competitors.

Look for Transparency

A trustworthy contractor provides clear, itemized estimates. Vague or incomplete proposals often lead to surprise costs. Transparency now prevents headaches later.

Prioritize Communication

Good communication is a sign of professionalism. Your contractor should respond quickly to questions and guide you through every step of the process.
