Questions to Ask During a Solar Consultation

A productive consultation should leave you with a clearer understanding of your options. Prepare questions around the property, the proposed system and the service relationship instead of focusing only on equipment price.

Explore the design reasoning

Ask what information is needed to recommend capacity, how the roof will be assessed and which consumption assumptions are being used. Explain future appliance additions and backup priorities. Ask the adviser to distinguish confirmed requirements from items that need a site visit.

Understand what happens next

Discuss the proposal, equipment documentation, installation stages and support arrangements. Ask what you should prepare and when outstanding technical questions will be answered. A clear next step is more useful than pressure to choose a system before the property has been understood.

Bring questions that reveal the design reasoning

Instead of asking only how many panels you will receive, ask which usage records shaped the recommendation and what happens during an outage. Ask how shading was assessed, what remains subject to a survey and which documents will accompany handover. A useful consultation should explain tradeoffs clearly enough that you can compare proposals on the same basis.

Your practical checklist

  • Bring bills and a list of priorities
  • Ask why the proposed configuration fits
  • Request a written next-step and document checklist

Should a consultation give a final capacity before a site review?

A preliminary discussion may use assumptions. The final recommendation should identify what has been verified and what still needs assessment.
