Your Solar Journey

 
 

Your Solar Project Journey, From First Call to Activation

A Step-by-Step Process Designed for Clarity, Confidence, and Long-Term Performance

 

1. Getting Started: Discovery

Typical Timeframe: 1 day

You’ll meet with a Solar Expert who will learn about your goals, the property, and energy usage and expectations. We’ll collect basic info like:

  • The address for the project and a recent electric bill
  • Your budget and timeline
  • Why you’re going solar

2. Design & Initial Proposal

Typical Timeframe: 2 weeks

You’ll receive a proposal with a high-level overview of:

  • Potential financial returns
  • Expected cost + estimated savings
  • A system layout
  • Equipment details
  • Financing considerations

3. Site Visit

Typical Timeframe: 2 weeks

We will come out to visit the property to collect details and additional information in order to create a final proposal.

4. Final Proposal + Contract

Typical Timeframe: 1 - 6 months

We’ll review the proposal, timeline, ownership, structure, financial options and finalize all aspects of the project. While we are not tax professionals, we use our experience and knowledge to do a full review of tax incentives and solar incentive requirements, and determine the timeline to realize potential financial returns.

5. Communication + Onboarding

Typical Timeframe: 1 day

During onboarding, we’ll ask how you prefer to stay in touch to ensure communication is seamless. 

  • Project Kickoff Meeting: You’ll be introduced to your project manager and support team
  • You’ll receive regular updates from your project manager - frequency can be determined by your needs
  • Real-time notification of changes/updates is available and tracked

6. Development Phase

Typical Timeframe: 6 - 24 months

We will work together to derisk the project and remove any potential roadblocks. 

  • Utility Interconnection Application
  • Incentive Application
  • Engineering - structural and electrical
  • Incentive approval - making sure your paperwork is filed and accepted
  • Permitting and utility paperwork 
  • Equipment procurement

If needed, we’ll guide you through site prep like roof work and electrical updates.

If your property is under construction, we’ll wait until you’re ready to begin installation.

7. Preconstruction

Typical Timeframe: 1 - 4 months

Once development is complete, we will schedule a preconstruction meeting with you and your on-site team. This is where we will do a full walkthrough of all that is going to happen, including:

  • Material and equipment delivery
  • Review noise requirements, safety, and mobilization areas
  • Review schedule

You’ll also be given your main point of contact, as well as an introduction to the foreman and site manager.

8. Installation & Activation

Typical Timeframe: 3 - 12 months

Our licensed team installs your system safely and efficiently. 

Once the system is in place, we will then receive utility permission to operate. And your system will then be turned on. Final utility approval may take 2-3 months for the utility to confirm. Once we have final confirmation, we will be cleared to turn it on and show you how everything works.

9. Wrap-Up & Support

Typical Timeframe: 1 month

You’ll receive a New Owner’s Packet with:

  • All project paperwork
  • Monitoring login and walkthrough
  • Warranty information (we include a 1-year warranty for all projects)
  • You’ll also meet our dedicated service + maintenance team(Solar Squad), your go-to for future support and system care
