What is the complete cost including installation, net metering, and all charges?
Who will handle the PM Surya Ghar subsidy application?
What is your warranty coverage and who backs it?
Do you have a local service team? What is your response time for issues?
Can you share contacts of 2-3 recent customers for reference?
What happens if your company closes down - who honors the warranty?

Unusually low prices (may use cheap/fake components)
No office or only mobile number contact
