Pay attention to these important characteristics as you shop around for a solar installer.
1. Experience
Experience matters, and it’s important to pick an installer who knows solar inside and out. At Trinity, solar is second nature because we’ve installed over 100,000 systems. We’ve been around longer than most warranties. More importantly, we’ll continue to be here for our customers for years to come.
2. Design quality
Your home is one-of-a-kind and should be treated that way. Every solar system we install is custom designed to meet each individual homeowner’s energy needs. Our design team and engineers use sophisticated technology to factor in shade, roof pitch, roof orientation, and energy consumption. The result is a system that’s just right for your home.
3. Comprehensive products & services
In addition to solar, you may also need a new roof or battery storage. If you choose Trinity as your solar installer, you don’t have to hire another company for supplementary work. Trinity is an expert in all things solar and roofing. And as a well-rounded installer, we’re skilled at dealing with challenges that may arise, like the need for structural or electrical upgrades.
4. Financing options
There are many ways to go solar, and the installer you choose affects how many payment options you have. Some companies offer both financing and installation services. They may push you toward a certain financing option for their own gain, not because it’s what’s best for you. Then there are installers like Trinity, who partner with trusted outside lenders. We walk you through your choices and show you how they would affect your electric costs. That way you can pick what works best for your budget. Explore financing options
5. Equipment & installation quality
The quality of a solar system comes down to the equipment and the skill of the installer. Companies with their own crews or carefully vetted subcontractors can better control the quality of work. Trinity oversees every step of the installation process and uses only the best equipment, including Tier 1 solar panels. If you need an electrical upgrade or your roof needs extra support, we’ll take care of that, too. We love going the extra mile for our customers.
6. Aesthetics
Choosing a solar installer who pays attention to details makes a huge difference in how your system will look. Exposed conduit (wiring) and panels hanging off roof edges are ugly, but acceptable to some installers. Not Trinity. Installing solar is both an art and a science, designed to protect your home’s curb appeal. We’ve been installing solar since 2004, so you can say we’ve mastered the art of solar. Not to mention that our sleek black panels are barely noticeable on many roofs.
7. Customer service during the project
Contract signing, installation, applications, inspections...there’s a lot going on during the solar process. It can be frustrating when your installer keeps you in the dark. With Trinity, your dedicated Project Concierge sends frequent progress updates and answers any questions you have. See our installation process.
8. Customer service after installation
Solar panels are durable and low maintenance, so there isn’t much you need to do once they’re up and running. But if you have questions or need support after your system is installed, you should be able to contact your installer. Trinity’s commitment to you extends far beyond installation day. If you ever need help, our Customer Service team is here for you.
9. Professional relationships
Permits and approvals are part of any home improvement project. Solar is no different. Choosing a reputable installer that maintains strong relationships with local officials and utilities makes it easier to go solar. Our professional relationships come from years of demonstrating a commitment to high-quality craftsmanship and safety.
10. Ownership
The way a business is run behind the scenes ultimately affects the customer. Trinity is a privately-owned company where integrity is a core value. We’re committed to doing the right thing and putting our customers first. Learn about Trinity
