Viable solar panel business?

[Dojobloke]

Hello,

My mate is on the road to starting a business offering the paperwork / admin and inspection side of solar panel installation to installers / firms. After reading these forums I notice the amount of paperwork and certifications needed to get feed in rates etc.

I think he is hoping that as installers you would 'outsource' all of this work, leaving you free to get on with other stuff.

If you were an installer, would you pay for such a service?

Not for me - I'd worry about quality control and I'm not sure how you'd be able to test someone else's work - you're supposed to have done it yourself. But then again I'm a bit of a control freak!!

Nope i wouldnt, i would just employ my own admin. I might sub out the electrical or something like that.

No me neither. I hate the paperwork but I know it gets done right when I do it.

Sound like the guy at the clinic, my mate slept with this ......

Why doesn't his mate ask!

Nope not a chance, the paperwork is the only real trail you have for the MCS audit.
