What to ask before you hire

About Freedom Forever Illinois LLC

  • Ask which rebates apply to your job and who files the paperwork.
  • Ask for the workmanship warranty in writing: how many years, and what it covers.
  • Search their name on the Better Business Bureau site, and read their reviews.
  • Does the site show license ECC95495 or is this a franchise location? Site shows Temecula headquarters.

Worth asking any solar installer

  • Can you show me proof of liability insurance and your bond?
  • What size system, which panels and inverter, and what will it make in a year?
  • Is my roof good for 25 more years, and what if it needs work first?
  • Who handles the permit and the utility's approval to turn it on?
