2. How long has the company been in business – and when was it accredited by MCS?
3. Can the company supply any reference sites?
4. Will you be dealing directly with the installer or a third party?
5. Will the installer be sub-contracting out any of the installation, such as roofing or electrical work?
6. In whose name is the insurance for installation and electrical work?
