Quick answer: shortlist two or three registered vendors, visit offices, compare written quotations for named equipment, workmanship warranty and paperwork scope, and choose on engineering and service before price.

A homeowner in Raipur shortlists three registered vendors. Vendor A quotes Rs 1.78 lakh, names modules and inverter, includes earthing, offers a two-year workmanship warranty and describes each portal step it will handle. Vendor B quotes Rs 1.55 lakh but writes only "premium panels" and says paperwork is "extra". Vendor C quotes Rs 1.70 lakh, names equipment, but offers no workmanship warranty. On the comparison table, A scores best. The homeowner chooses A, pays by milestones and receives a commissioning report with earth-resistance values. B and C might have been fine, but A made every promise checkable.
Confirm your choice on the portal, sign a written agreement, pay the first milestone and ask for the survey date. Keep a copy of everything. If anything feels wrong at this stage, pause: it is much easier to change course before you have paid for materials.
