Whether you're installing a system on your home or business, we follow a clear process that ensures quality, code compliance, and customer confidence every step of the way.

Here’s what you can expect when you go solar with us:

Step 1: Getting Started

Once you sign your contract and pay the deposit, your project officially kicks off. From here on out, your dedicated Sales Representative will be your point of contact, keeping you in the loop and answering any questions along the way.

Step 2: Drawing & Design

Our design team begins by gathering details about your site—like roof orientation, shading, and available space. We create a custom system layout that’s code-compliant and tailored to your energy needs. At this stage, we also select the specific equipment that will work best for your home or business.

Step 3: Permits & Signatures

We’ll guide you through the necessary paperwork for permits and utility interconnection. The sooner this part is completed, the faster we can move your project forward. Don't worry, we're here to help the whole way!

Step 4: Permit & Utility Review

Our team submits all required applications and waits for approvals from local building departments and utilities. This ensures that your solar system meets safety and code standards. Timelines can vary depending on the reviewing agencies, but we monitor progress closely and keep you informed.

Step 5: Preparing for Installation

Once we have approvals in hand, we start preparing everything for your install. We order and gather your system components, finalize scheduling, and coordinate logistics with our install team to make sure everything is ready to go.

Step 6: Installation Day

Time to bring your solar system to life. Our friendly and professional install team arrives on-site to complete the installation. We take care of everything—from equipment setup to safety checks—ensuring your system is installed with care and precision.

After Installation: Powering Up

Once installation is complete, we work with your utility to finalize interconnection so you can start producing and using clean solar energy. We’ll also provide resources and support to help you monitor your system and get the most out of your investment.
