What is a Solar EPC and What You Need to Look For

If you're in the solar industry, there's a pretty good chance that you know what an EPC is. For the uninformed, however, the acronym stands for "engineering, procurement, and construction," and it pertains to companies that offer end-to-end solar services. At Energy Service Partners (ESP), we work with sales representatives all across California to help homeowners find the solar solutions they need, and we can design, procure, and install all of the necessary components.

If you're a sales rep who's looking for a new solar EPC, there are a few things to keep in mind before working with one. The last thing you want is for something to fall through the cracks after you've finalized a purchase with a customer!

Prioritize Customer Service

When you're in sales, no matter what it is you're selling, your first priority is always the customer. You're working with them on a big decision, and when it comes to solar, that decision can have a lasting impact on their home and their finances. Look for an EPC that shares your commitment to customer satisfaction.

Quality Equipment and Installation

The quality of the equipment and installation directly affects system performance and longevity. A good EPC uses high-quality panels, inverters, and mounting hardware, and employs trained, experienced installation crews. Ask about the brands they use and their installation standards.

Strong Communication

Throughout the sales and installation process, clear communication is essential. Look for an EPC that keeps you informed at every step and provides the tools and information you need to keep your customers updated.

Comprehensive Support

A great EPC doesn't just install systems and walk away. Look for ongoing support, including monitoring, maintenance, and warranty service. Your customers will appreciate knowing that help is available if they ever need it.

Financial Stability

You want to work with an EPC that will be around for the long haul. Research the company's history, reputation, and financial stability. A well-established EPC is more likely to honor warranties and provide ongoing support.
