Where can I find someone who designs, installs, and maintains photovoltaic (PV) systems?
We suggest you look for a PV installer or equipment provider in the telephone directory under “Solar Energy Equipment and Systems Dealers.” It is a good idea select a designer or installer of solar energy systems from the list in your local yellow pages by first asking for information from several of them about their experience with PV systems as well as how much their services and products cost. With a system designer, you can discuss power requirements or hot water needs for your building, sunlight availability, and other important factors, and determine the type of system that’s needed to meet your needs. System designers and installers should be able to provide you with cost estimates and other pertinent information. If your house is not yet designed or built, it is important to make the building as energy efficient as possible to reduce your PV system’s energy requirements. Many states have incentives for renewable energy, so it’s a good idea to check them out, too. Other Resource
