Hope I’ve Made the Bright Decision!

After several back & forth emails & discussions, and also after all the errors and mistakes within the paperwork and quotations which didn’t stop at the those previously mentioned, a decision has now been made. My father has decided to go with another solar energy installation provider that was also quoting on his system of choice. If fact, the required solar pv panel system set-up is one of this company’s specialities. All that remains for his install is getting a confirmed date to proceed. He’s chasing-up and emailing today for a commitment – Back again to the ‘We all want it yesterday scenario’ – sorry about that but due to these blasted tariff changes we do!

I on the other hand, am a little hampered for time, although I’ve received a rather attractively priced specification quote from the same Solaredge solar electricity installer, I will not be able to get a survey completed and an installation prior to the cut-off date of December 12th.

So far I have delayed my final decision due to the uncertainty of the standard of work that I may receive after such erroneous paperwork. The system quoted is not my first choice and thus again is causing me concerns and doubting the ability to deliver the finished product. On the other hand the guy that I have been speaking with seems a really pleasant chap and knowledgeable about the system quoted.

The paperwork issues I have finally put down to this particular solar installation company being so busy, this, together with the fact that he also rolls up his sleeves and works along side the solar install team on the roof also had a bearing.

Another point, although quite a large point was trying to get a confirmed installation date. I already knew that other installs were be carried out in the area and also due to the expected climate changes that could well be on the horizon – I wanted to get a fitting date during November. This would also then enable me to sort the necessary FIT application paperwork in plenty of time.

I was eventually able to commit to my solar installation date of 21st November 2011… hooray!
