Getting Started


Consultation
Consultation and Proposal · We’ll collect your household energy usage and use it to custom design a solar energy system for you. Then we’ll assess your home to ensure it’s ready for solar, and we’ll review the design and agreement with you to ensure that you understand the terms.
Activation
System Activation · Now that your utility company has approved your paperwork and the layout of your system, it’s time to activate your solar energy system and start enjoying the benefits of clean, renewable energy.
Pre-Install
Permitting and Interconnection · Now that you’ve received your agreement and approved your solar design, we’ll take the results of your home assessment and use them to create a detailed outline of your system that we can give to both your municipality and utility. After they’ve reviewed and approved your solar documents, we’ll reach out to schedule your solar installation.
Post-Install
Inspection and Interconnection · Now that we’ve installed your new solar energy system, we’ll review our work in preparation for your solar inspection. Then we’ll work with your municipality to inspect your solar energy system. After your municipality approves the inspection, we’ll reassess and (if necessary) resubmit your utility paperwork. Once we have approval from your utility company, we’ll prepare for system activation.
