THE PROCESS
How do I get started?
This is the easiest part.
1. Free Consultation
Schedule a FREE appointment with a solar specialist who will review your energy needs, answer any questions, and calculate how much you’ll save by going solar. Our solar experts will help you qualify for a $0 upfront solar system and apply eligible Federal and Local Solar Tax incentives to the cost of your system. We offer to contact-free Virtual Appointments through Zoom or can provide free quote over the phone.
2. Expert Design
Next, our team of solar specialists will finalize the solar design based on your needs. Our experts will work to provide you with a unique system that gives you the most cost-efficient energy possible.
3. Stress-Free Permitting
Your Project Manager handles all of the required paperwork and permits needed by your city and local utility company. Just sit back and let them take care of the rest.
4. Flawless Installation
After assessing your property for any shading issues from nearby trees and making the required adjustments, we will take a closer look at your home’s roof for any required solar panel installation preparation. From there, we will get your new solar system installed in approximately four to eight hours. Our experts will then give you a full demonstration of how to start and shut off your new system.
5. Seamless Activation
We get approval, otherwise known as “Permission to Operate,” from the local utility and municipality to activate your newly installed system so you can start generating clean energy fast.
The Installation
Congratulations on your decision to go solar. Below we explain the key points throughout the installation process.
How The Solar Panel Installation Process Works
There are several important steps to the process of installing a new solar system at home. That starts with meeting with your dedicated energy consultant, who will outline all your options, including financing.Next, we’ll come out and conduct a thorough site assessment, with a careful inspection of your roof, property, and other conditions. With that, we’ll be able to develop a detailed solar blueprint, outlining the best possible solar system for maximum efficiency and savings.
With that blueprint, we’ll get your full sign-off, or Design Approval, giving us the green light to submit paperwork for permits and soon scheduling your install.
Here’s what to expect:
1 .
Preparing Your Home
Once the permits are approved, we can schedule your actual install. We partner with the absolute best solar installers in the industry, ensuring you’ll end up with top-quality solar panels and equipment, installed right.
Depending on the size and setup of your new solar system, the actual installation may take just one day or two or three days, in which our team will properly prepare your roof and shingles, integrate new wiring into your home’s existing system, mount the roof racks, and, finally, install your new solar panels.
Congrats – you’re almost to the memorable event when you can flip the switch on your brand new solar system and start saving!
2 .
Working with your installation crew
As you approach the scheduled day of your solar installation, you – the homeowner – will play an important role in making sure we have a smooth process. Please make sure the yard is free of debris and any equipment, tools, or sporting goods, and it’s a good idea to keep all vehicles in the garage or park them on the street.
For safety reasons, it’s also wise to limit the number of people coming in and out of the home while workers are on the roof, and ask your install team if there’s anything else they need based on your property and site design.
The solar installers work hard and are the best professionals in the industry, so they’ll communicate and ensure any of your concerns are met. And remember that installing solar panels is hard, hot work, so feel free to offer them a cold glass of water for a job well done!
