When choosing a solar panel installation company, reviewing its qualifications is a crucial step. The following are the matters that need attention during the qualification review process:
First, review of the basic qualifications of enterprises
Business License
Confirm whether the installation company has a legal business license for operation, and the business scope on the business license should include the installation of solar panels or related new energy businesses.
Work Safety License
Review whether the installation company has a work safety license, which is a necessary qualification for enterprises to engage in work safety activities.
Organization code certificate and Tax registration certificate (if the three certificates have been integrated, no separate review is required) :
Confirm whether the organization code certificate and tax registration certificate of the installation company are complete and valid to understand its organizational structure and tax compliance.
Second, professional qualification review
General Contracting Qualification for Power Engineering construction
For solar panel installation projects, installation companies usually need to have a Grade 3 or above general contracting qualification for power engineering construction. This qualification attests to the enterprise’s professional capabilities and experience in power engineering construction.
License for Installation (Repair, Testing) of Electric Power Facilities
The installation company should also have at least a fourth-level license for the installation (repair, testing) of power facilities, which proves that the enterprise has the qualifications and capabilities to carry out the installation, maintenance and testing of power facilities.
Other professional qualifications (if applicable) :
Depending on the specific circumstances of the project and the regulatory requirements of the location, the installation company may also need to possess other professional qualifications, such as environmental protection qualifications and professional contracting qualifications for solar photovoltaic power generation projects.
Third, personnel qualification review
Installation worker qualifications:
Installation workers must hold a special operations operation certificate (high-voltage electrical work) to prove that they possess the professional skills and knowledge to perform high-voltage electrical work.
Technical personnel qualifications:
Confirm whether the installation company has professional power engineers and technical teams. They should have rich construction experience and professional knowledge to ensure the quality and safety of the construction.
Fourth, other precautions
The validity of the qualification certificate
Review the validity period of the qualification certificate to ensure that it is within its validity period and avoid legal risks caused by the expiration of the certificate.
Company strength and reputation:
In addition to the qualification certificates, attention should also be paid to the strength and reputation of the installation company. One can understand the quality of service and market reputation of a company by checking its customer reviews, cases, achievements and other means.
Field investigation
If conditions permit, it is recommended to conduct an on-site inspection of the installation company to understand its construction site and completed projects, so as to have a more intuitive understanding of the company’s strength and service quality.
Review of contract terms
Before signing a contract with the installation company, one should carefully review the terms of the contract to ensure that the content is clear, legal and fair, and avoid disputes in the subsequent cooperation process.
In summary, the qualification review of solar panel installation companies is a comprehensive and meticulous process. By reviewing the basic qualifications, professional qualifications, personnel qualifications of the enterprise and paying attention to other matters, it can be ensured that an installation company with legal business qualifications, professional capabilities and good reputation is selected, providing a strong guarantee for the safe and efficient installation of solar panels.
