Step 1
We start by having you meet with a Solar Consultant who will explore your energy needs. This allows us to clearly analyze how much you can expect to save on utilities by going solar. This is the perfect time to ask questions because our goal is to address any concerns you have and help you better understand the process. On our second consultation, we’ll take a look at your roof to get a clear picture of its capacity for our design team, and create a custom solar system tailored specifically to your home or business.

Step 3
Efficiency is at the core of our process. On installation day, we tend to have your system up and running in 4-8 hours depending on its size. After installation, we walk you through the ins and outs of your brand new solar system. Your local utility and municipality will need to give final permission for us to connect your panels to the grid and start generating clean energy. This is called Permission to Operate, or PTO. Once PTO is granted, your panels are ready to be turned on, and you can start saving.
