Vetting a New Solar and Battery Manufacturer Checklist (Free)

Before you put your name behind a new brand, check who is really behind it. This checklist walks you through eight checks for vetting a solar or battery manufacturer, with a place to record your decision.

New brands arrive fast when rebates roll out, and installers are left carrying the cost when support goes quiet or a fault turns up. This free checklist covers business address, local track record, support, distribution, fault history, instructions and paperwork, so you can decide with your eyes open.

What’s included

• Eight checks, from business address to paperwork trail

• A support line test and a distribution check

• A decision box and space for notes to keep on file

• Free — no catch
