Once you have decided to go solar and signed the paperwork, the solar installation process begins. This process typically takes around one to three months, but it may take longer depending on how fast your city approves permits.
- Site Survey : We come to your home to verify the planned solar system design. We will check your roof, attic, and potential placement locations of the solar system components. If any repairs or updates are needed before installation, you will be notified. Most of our customers cover the costs of any repairs or updates by adding the additional amount into their existing solar loan. You typically do not need to be home for the site survey, unless you want to be.
- System Design Approval : You will have the opportunity to approve the solar system design at your home. If any changes were made from the original design, you will review the changes and approve them, or request additional changes.
- Permit Approval : We will send the permit application and final designs to the city and wait for their approval.
- Installation : Installation typically takes between one to three days, depending on your solar system size. You typically do not need to be home for the installation, unless you want to be.
- Final City Inspection : The city inspector comes to your home to check for code adherence and design accuracy.
- Utility Interconnection : The utility company representative will inspect the installation and approve it. After receiving Permission to Operate (PTO), the switch is flipped and you are using clean power!
