Last 2020, solar power became the top source of renewable energy. It is becoming increasingly popular these days that businessmen and energy experts predict a 52% growth rate on solar power users worldwide.

Consequently, more people are enticed to have a solar power business. If you’re one of those, here are a few things you have to remember when starting a solar power business.

1. Not just about solar panels

While solar panels are definitely the most significant factor in opening a solar power business, there are also other things that you have to keep in mind. This includes installation, roofing, metal fabrication, electrical or battery connection, landscape design, maintenance, and so much more!

This is why it’s highly recommended that you hire several engineers in your team. This way, you can provide the best service to your customers.

2. Solar licensing

Just like electricity and water providers, your solar business needs a permit. Each state differs in its licensing requirements. This is especially important to know if you’re thinking of providing solar services in other states.

One of the basic requirements in getting a business license is ensuring that your materials–solar panels, electrical equipment, installation methods, have ETL (Electrical Testing Labs) and EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) certification.

3. Mind your solar banks and batteries

Here’s the best tip to keep you ahead of the solar business game–get dealers and contractors for solar banks. Most solar power businesses only sell and install solar panels. They allow the customers to get their solar banks. But that is a potential income wasted! 

Aside from its monetary benefits, providing your solar batteries is also ideal for the safety of your customers. This way, you can ensure that the batteries will complement the brand of your solar panels.

So what are you waiting for? Start your own solar power business now!
