Looking for Solar Installer recommendation

Even if you don't want to install it yourself your should consider learning enough to understand the design of the system. I also recommend installing a BMV-712 to measure your current usage of your power before upgrading to solar.

Thanks, I’m aware of the system and my power requirements, but don’t want to self install, hence my request for installer recommendations

Looking at some of his installs folks have posted and the blog by Wheeling it when he did theirs, looked to be quality work.

I've only heard good things about Solar Installations in Quartzite, for those that might be going in that direction at some point. Discount Solar is a place we stopped off at just over a year ago now, and they where extremely knowledgeable, get great reviews and competitive pricing on components and labour for installation. They also do other jobs for 'electrical' needs I've heard as well, but they do have a website for those interested in Googling them.
Solar Bill, is another Quartzite location, and although I don't know a lot about this particular location, there are reviews to check in to for those interested.
