How to compare Balearic solar quotes

The cheapest total tells you very little if one proposal omits registration, roof access, electrical protection or backup hardware. Put every quote into the same scope before comparing equipment.

Arrange a site assessment

Ask what has actually been surveyed

A credible proposal should identify roof layout, shading, annual generation assumptions, consumption match and any switchboard work. Off-grid and backup systems need load and autonomy calculations.

Confirm who is the authorised installer of record, who handles municipal and energy paperwork and who owns the monitoring account after handover.

Read the exclusions

Scaffolding, trenching, roof repairs, crane access and community permissions are common grey areas. Product warranties do not replace workmanship responsibilities or local support.

Questions owners ask

Before the survey.

How many solar quotes should I get?+

Enough to compare at least two properly surveyed, like-for-like proposals. More weak quotes do not improve the decision.

Should I choose panels by brand?+

Brand matters less than a coherent design, verifiable product support, correct installation and a clear local warranty route.

What should a solar quote include?+

System size, model numbers, predicted generation, scope, exclusions, registration, monitoring, protection, warranties and a clear price including applicable tax.
