Investing in photovoltaic panels is a smart decision to save on electricity bills while contributing to environmental protection. However, the success of your project depends largely on the choice of your installer. The wrong choice can lead to unexpected costs and poor performance of your solar system. At Gamco Energy , specialists in photovoltaics, we guide you through the crucial steps to avoid these pitfalls and choose a reliable installer in Tunisia.
Don’t Be Deceived by Too-Low Prices
An attractive price may seem tempting, but it often hides compromises on the quality of equipment or services. An installer offering too-low prices might overlook essential aspects such as panel quality, technician competence, or maintenance coverage. Gamco Energy advises against falling for unjustified low prices. A good installer should offer full transparency and services that meet your expectations. Tip: Compare quotes from multiple installers to ensure each offer includes quality equipment, professional installation, and solid warranties.
Check the ANME certification and other certifications
An installer without ANME certification (National Agency for Energy Management) and recognized certifications can put you at risk. In Tunisia, ANME certification is a sign of seriousness and competence. It ensures that the installer complies with photovoltaic industry standards. In addition to ANME certification, make sure the installer has quality, safety, and environmental certifications, such as ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment), and ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety). These certifications demonstrate the company’s commitment to delivering quality services while adhering to environmental and safety standards. Gamco Energy, as an ANME-certified company, guarantees that all our installations not only comply with local standards but also meet international quality, safety, and environmental standards. This ensures optimal performance and a system installation that follows the best industry practices. Tip: Before signing a contract, verify that the installer has ANME certification along with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications to ensure that the installation is carried out in line with quality, safety, and sustainability standards.
Experience matters, but client reviews Are crucial
Long experience in the field is a good indicator, but don’t underestimate the importance of customer testimonials. A good installer will provide real and verifiable feedback from clients who have had similar installations. Gamco Energy provides references and testimonials from satisfied clients so you can gain a clear understanding of the quality of our work. Tip: Don’t just rely on the promise of experience, ask for customer reviews and examples of similar projects.
Be wary of installers without guarantees
Installing photovoltaic panels is a long-term investment. A serious installer should offer warranties on both the panels and the installation itself. If the installer doesn’t offer any warranties or if they are too limited, it’s a sign that they don’t believe in the quality of their work. Gamco Energy, on the other hand, offers solid warranties on both the panels and the installation, ensuring peace of mind in the long term. Tip: Make sure the installer offers a warranty on the installation, as well as a solid warranty on the solar panels.
Ensure Administrative Support
Administrative procedures are often a point of friction for those unfamiliar with renewable energy processes. Your installer should handle all administrative tasks: authorization requests, declarations to the National Agency for Energy Management (ANME), and obtaining possible subsidies. Gamco Energy ensures you are supported throughout the administrative process, so your project proceeds smoothly. Tip: Choose an installer who handles all administrative procedures, from authorization requests to obtaining subsidies.
Don’t Neglect the Quality of Materials
Solar panels are a long-term investment, and their performance depends largely on the quality of materials used. Choosing an installer that offers high-quality equipment from reputable brands is essential to guarantee optimal and durable energy production. Gamco Energy prioritizes the use of high-end solar panels, ensuring maximum return on investment for our clients. Tip: Check the brands of the panels being offered and ensure they have a proven track record for performance and longevity.
