Your Solar panel project should be finished by the time the solar panel installation company states it

Solar power is widespread, many solar panel installation companies are extremely busy. Make sure to ask for a project fulfillment timeline from your solar panel installation company and demand them to stick to it.

It is fair and often a good thing to ask companies how long it will take to get started on the project, and then how long it will take to finish. If companies are spread too thin, it may take months before they can get around to your installation and it is important to know that before committing to the project.

Both can be the right one to choose, it just depends on each homeowners needs.
