Free Solar Panel Installer
Service Agreement
One cracked tile or a 'leaky' roof claim can turn a ten-thousand dollar profit into a lawsuit that repoes your truck and your tools. If your contract doesn't lock down the scope, you're the one eating the labor when a homeowner decides they want the panels moved two inches to the left.
Pro Contractor Tip
Insert a 'Roof Condition' clause that explicitly states you aren't liable for pre-existing structural rot or leaks discovered once the shingles are disturbed.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Solar Panel Installer, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do when the homeowner asks for extra 'small favors' once I'm on the roof?
You stop the clock and point to your Change Order clause; a written agreement ensures that 'small favors' like fixing a vent or moving an antenna are billed as additional labor so you aren't working for free.
How do I get paid if the utility company takes three months to approve the Interconnection?
Tie your final payment milestone to 'Substantial Completion'—meaning the physical install is done—rather than the utility's permission to operate, so your cash isn't held hostage by a bureaucrat's desk.
The customer is complaining about shingles looking 'scuffed' and is withholding the check. Now what?
Your contract should define 'Acceptable Wear and Tear' for a construction site; having this boundary in writing allows you to demand payment for the work performed while ignoring cosmetic gripes that don't affect roof integrity.
