The Stages and Timeline of Installing a Solar Energy System in Your Home
Solar Consultation:
Whether through an online meeting or an in-person session, our solar specialist will carefully assess your energy requirements. During this consultation, we will delve into the details of your project proposal, offering expert guidance to help you secure the most favorable financial option. Additionally, we will assist you in leveraging Federal and Local Solar Tax Incentives to offset the cost of your solar system.
Project Initiation:
Once you make the decision to proceed with solar panel installation, we will proceed to sign an agreement. The next step involves an official site survey, where a knowledgeable solar professional will visit your home. They will capture essential information such as photographs of the roof area, roof slope, and specifics of your home's electrical panel. This data will enable our solar engineers to tailor a customized solar system design that perfectly suits your roof's shape and size. Subsequently, we will create a detailed project plan.
Permits:
Installing solar panels necessitates obtaining permits from the local authorities and submitting an interconnection application to your utility company. Furthermore, we will handle the necessary paperwork for rebates and tax credits. The duration for the paperwork process typically ranges from 2 to 4 months. Once the approvals are obtained, we can move forward with the installation.
System Installation:
Upon receiving permit approvals, we will reach out to you to schedule the installation at a time and day that is convenient for you. We will procure the required equipment and skillfully install your solar system at your residence.
Final Inspection:
Following the completion of the installation, we will coordinate with the appropriate authorities to ensure that your system complies with all regulations. Once the town inspection is scheduled, we will promptly inform you.
Activation / Meter Swap:
In order for us to operate the solar system, we need permission from your utility company. We will handle the necessary arrangements and schedule a meter swap. You will provide access for both your utility company and our team. With a simple flip of the "solar switch," you can relax and enjoy the benefits of clean and affordable solar energy.
Tax Filings:
During the tax season, you will submit state and federal tax forms to claim your solar tax credits, maximizing the financial advantages of your solar investment.
Switching to solar and embracing self-generated power represents one of the most rewarding investments for your home. By taking this step, you gain control over your electricity costs while embracing a cleaner and more affordable energy source. Furthermore, you contribute to reducing your carbon footprint and mitigating the consumption of fossil fuels. Let us work together to preserve the environment for generations to come.
