LocalServ.Pro — Solar Installation Hiring Checklist
Prepared October 17, 2026
Planning aid; verify current project requirements. No request is sent.

Before comparing solar proposals, collect a year of electricity use and identify planned changes such as an EV or heat pump. Ask the installer to evaluate the roof, shading, and usable space. A system sized around a sales target may not match your household’s future needs.

DISCUSS WITH THE PROVIDER
Who owns the equipment and any associated credits?
What approvals remain before the system can operate?
What happens if the roof needs replacement or the home is sold?

COMPARE IN WRITING
[ ] Included tasks, materials and quantities
[ ] Exclusions, allowances and change approval
[ ] Relevant credentials, insurance and who performs the work
[ ] Permit responsibility, schedule, payment milestones and cleanup
