Site Assessment and Design
You decided to go solar! Now, we have to make sure your home or commercial business is suitable for solar panels. We will schedule a date to take measurements and analyze factors like the angle of your roof, shading issues, and the direction of sunlight. Based on this assessment, a customized solar panel design will be created to maximize energy generation. If your roofing needs adjustments or maintenance to be suitable for solar panels, our friends from Peak Roofing can help us with roof preparation and ensure the condition of your roof is optimal for the installation.
Permitting and Paperwork
Don’t worry, we’ll handle everything about permissions and documentation. We’ll submit a permit application with the Town or City and submit the interconnection application with the utility provider. Note that this step takes from 15 to 40 days to be completed.
Installation Day
On the scheduled installation day, our technicians will arrive at your property with all the necessary equipment. They will carefully install the solar panels on your roof, connecting them to your electrical system. The installation process typically takes one to three days, depending on the complexity of the project.
Inspection and Maintenance
Congratulations, your solar panel installation is complete! To ensure optimal performance, we’ll make an inspection process to make sure everything’s working as expected with the building and electrical inspectors.
PTO
Once the inspection is complete, all the necessary documentation will be submitted to the utility company for meter installation and approval to turn on the solar system.
