4.) What is your credit score?
If you're interested in the "Free solar mount system" options, credit is KEY. For financing and leasing companies, you must meet their required credit score level and other requirements may include: income, roof direction, and roof size.
But to go solar, credit isn't always necessary, having money is though. Solar systems are pretty darn expensive to buy, which is why solar companies are getting creative with their sales pitches (leased, pre-paid, and "Go Solar for Free" options).
Once, you've decided that solar carport is something you want, reach out for a quote. I mean, reach out for SEVERAL quotes. Every company is going to offer something different and charge differently as well. Take those quotes and compare them to determine which company has your best interests in mind and obviously has the best price for what they are offering.
