Process of Going Solar From Start to Finish
Being transparent about the solar installation process and the various timelines involved is our way of setting expectations up front thus paving the way for our customers to a seamless transition to green solar energy.
Consultation: (virtual or in-person)
We speak with the homeowner on title or the point(s) of contact to receive the annual electricity usage, billing history, and other pertinent info to accurately assess your solar eligibility. Then you’ll be provided with a solar proposal & quote with the recommended system size, equipment, panel placement and financing option.
Site Survey: (1 - 2 days)
Once all the installation documents have been signed and approved, our installer will schedule a home visit at your convenience. This is to verify site conditions, take photos & detailed roof measurements, determine roof stability to ensure solar system support and to conduct a thorough shade analysis for the maximum production confirmation.
Project Design & Acceptance: (2 - 4 days)
Our installer will review the site survey report and confirm that the solar installation is possible and ready to proceed to the next stage. A customized detailed layout, drawings, and final engineering documents will be prepared and added to our customer relationship management software. After the project has been verified and no change orders are required, the finance or escrow company reviews the file and grants Notice to Proceed (NTP) with the project.
**Note that any changes to the design after this stage can and will cause delays in completing your solar project.
Permit Submissions: (3 days - 6 weeks)
Final drawings are submitted to your local municipality’s planning & development or building division department. Many cities review and approve plans within a few days, but some cities can drag their feet taking several weeks. Similarly, interconnection submittal requests and the subsequent approval processes vary depending on the utility companies timeline and/or cooperation.
**Any open permit, code enforcement ticket or any issues concerning unpermitted structures on the installation site will cause your local municipality to put a hold on the solar permit.
Installation: (1 - 3 days)
Once approvals are received and the permit is granted, your project manager will call to schedule the delivery and installation of your solar system. This is by far the quickest part of the process (typically one to three days) depending on the system size, any scheduling conflicts, bad weather conditions and/or other unforeseen events. Each of our installation partners are trained, licensed & bonded, technically skilled, and highly experienced.
PTO Inspection: (4 days - 8 weeks)
The approval for final inspection is submitted to your city/county and utility company, otherwise known as the AHJ (authority having jurisdiction) for system inspection and Permission to Operate (PTO). Your project manager will call and arrange a time to have an inspector from your local AHJ to come out to ensure your system has been installed to local building and electrical codes. Once again, depending on your utility provider, the timeline for them to schedule an inspection varies. This may take more than one inspection, in the event that adjustments are required.
System Activation/Project Complete: (~7 days)
Once the utility gives the green light to operate, the system can officially be turned on!! Time to flip the switch and start enjoying all the benefits of going solar. Your Project Coordinator will call you to schedule the activation, go over system monitoring, and answer any final questions you may have.
