The biggest things to look out for is making sure the installer is qualified, and the equipment is UL Listed. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there now claiming to be installers, but have never done it before, or have no training and are doing it wrong. It’s not the same as regular house electrical work, not just any electrician can do it.
NABCEP is an organization that certifies solar installers. They have to have years of experience and lots of training to even be able to sit for the exam. Just because an installer isn’t certified, doesn’t mean they aren’t good, but having the certification is a great way to be sure they know what they are doing. If you don’t have a certified installer in your area, try to find an installer who has done a number of installs and talk to their references.
As far as equipment, any reputable installer will use quality equipment. It has to be UL Listed to pass inspection, so unless this is their first, they’ll know the good stuff.
