# How to Choose a Solar Installer in Indore

> A practical checklist to compare rooftop solar companies in Indore — registration, itemised quotes, structure, earthing, paperwork, warranties and after-sales service.

Canonical: https://geniussolarservices.com/learn/how-to-choose-solar-installer-indore

Choose a solar installer on the quality of the whole system and service, not just the price per kW. Check that they are registered on the PM Surya Ghar portal (for subsidy), give an itemised quote with module and inverter models, specify structure steel and height, include earthing, lightning protection and distribution boxes, handle DISCOM and subsidy paperwork, provide a generation estimate, and offer local after-sales service. Ask to see completed local projects and speak to past customers.

- **Must have:** Itemised quote
- **For subsidy:** Portal-registered vendor
- **Often skipped:** Earthing & SPDs
- **Ask for:** Local references


## The checklist

| # | Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Registered vendor on the PM Surya Ghar portal | Required for subsidy |
| 2 | Itemised quote with module and inverter **make and model** | Lets you compare like with like |
| 3 | DCR modules for subsidised home systems | Subsidy condition |
| 4 | Structure material, thickness, height and finish | Structure is the #1 failure point |
| 5 | Earthing, lightning arrester, DCDB/ACDB with SPDs | Safety and inverter protection |
| 6 | Cable brand, size and conduit | Losses and fire safety |
| 7 | Site survey and shadow study before the quote | Accurate size and yield |
| 8 | Generation estimate in units/year | Sets expectations |
| 9 | Net metering and subsidy paperwork included | Saves weeks of running around |
| 10 | Warranties in writing (module, inverter, workmanship) | Clarity later |
| 11 | Local service team and response process | Inverters do need service |
| 12 | Completed local projects and references | Proof, not promises |

## Red flags

- A price per kW with no brands or models listed.
- "Subsidy guaranteed" before checking your connection and eligibility.
- No site visit before quoting.
- Pressure to pay in full before installation.
- Vague answers on earthing and structure.
