How Do We Go About It?
There are so many reasons to install solar panels for your home. Most important is the savings, but there’s also increased home value, a positive environmental impact, and energy independence. If you’ve ever wondered about home solar at all, you owe it to yourself to learn why so many people are making the switch.
1. Free Consultation
Looking to go solar? Schedule a free consultation with us. Over this initial call, we evaluate your energy needs and answer all your queries.
Our coordinator calculates how much you’ll save by switching to solar energy and we also help you find the best state and federal tax incentives to reduce the installation cost. We carry out this step via Zoom or over a phone call.
2. Cost Proposal Submission
Once we evaluate that solar would be a good fit for your property, we prepare a comprehensive proposal for the project.
This document covers every detail regarding the installation—the scope of work, cost of the process, suitable financing options, specifications of the solar system, performance projections, and any other relevant information.
Here we also include the contract of the project. Once you give us a nod, we start with the work.
3. Design & Engineering
Not all roofs are the same. We consider your roof’s alignment, material, structure, and available space to design your system. We put special emphasis on making it efficient.
Besides the technical details, we also take care of the aesthetics, so the solar panels complement your home.
Built by a licensed engineer, the panels are meant to last for decades.
4. Obtain Permits
You need permits from your city authorities and your utility company to proceed with the solar installation.
Our project managers do all the paperwork and obtain the necessary permissions for you.
5. Seamless Installation
This is the main task of the day. It consists of several steps like prepping, wiring, installing the racking system, placing the panels, and connecting the inverter:
- Checking the roof and the surroundings closely for shading-related issues.
- Prepping the roof for installation.
- Working on the necessary wiring.
- Installing the PV mounting system or racking on the roof.
- Placing the PV panels on the racking and securing them.
- Connecting the solar panels to the inverter.
6. Final Inspection
Once the installation is completed, an inspector from your city visits the site to check if everything has been done according to the rules.
The utility also company sends a representative to do their standard check-up. If everything looks good, the utility company attaches your solar system to the local power grid and installs the Net Meter.
As the system passes through these inspections, you get permission to operate your system.
7. Demo
Once these steps are done, we give you a detailed demo of how the system runs itself, and how to use it daily.
8. Enjoy Free Electricity!
And that’s it. Switch on your system, and start enjoying solar energy!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Cutting your power bills down to size isn’t the only way solar power saves you money. You may also be eligible for tax credits. These incentives are designed to encourage solar energy use.
Q: What is the process for going solar?
A: After you complete your solar panel purchase, we will forward your paperwork to our trusted installer partner. Our project team and the Installer will then work together to customize your design plan and begin the installation process. Once the system is installed and connected to the grid, you can start enjoying the benefits of solar energy and begin saving on your energy bills!
Q: How long will the installation process take?
A: The length of the installation process can vary depending on factors such as the size of the system, location, and utility company. On average, the installation process takes between 2 to 4 months from start to finish. Our team will work closely with you throughout the process to ensure that everything is completed as efficiently and quickly as possible.
Q: Will solar panels affect the value of my home?
A: Absolutely! According to recent reports, solar panels can increase the value of your home right away. In addition to saving you money on energy bills, solar panels are an attractive feature for homebuyers who are looking for homes with sustainable and eco-friendly features. By installing solar panels on your home, you can potentially increase its resale value and make it a more attractive option for potential buyers.
Q: What happens to the system if I Move?
A: If you own your solar panel system, you can relocate it or include it in your home’s value. If you leased the system, you can pay it off and take it with you or transfer it to the new homeowner. You can also include the payoff amount in your listing price.
Q: Can I store excess energy generated by my solar panels?
A: Yes, you can store excess energy generated by your solar panels by installing a solar storage battery. If your system includes a battery, any excess energy produced will be sent there for later use. However, if your system does not have a battery, excess energy will be sent to the utility grid until sundown and credited to your next billing cycle.
Q: Can solar panels be added later?
A: If your roof has the room for additional panels, you can install more panels!
Q: What happens during a power outage or bad weather?
During a power outage or bad weather, your solar system will shut off automatically for safety reasons. This is because it’s not safe to send power out to the grid while workers are attempting to fix the power outage. Although weather conditions such as rain and snow can affect system production, solar panels will still continue to produce energy on a cloudy or foggy day.
