Why a cheap EPC is usually the most expensive decision you will make.

The lowest quote is the easiest one to accept and the hardest to live with. On paper, two solar proposals can look almost identical — same capacity, similar layout, a price difference of eight or ten per cent. The gap shows up later: in the equipment that was quietly downgraded, the documentation a lender will not accept, the performance that never quite reaches what was promised. Here is where the real cost of a cheap EPC tends to surface, and what to look for before you sign.
