How it Works

Solar panels harness the power of the sun.

The sun’s rays or photons travel to Earth (93 million miles), where they are captured by the photovoltaic cells in the solar panels on your roof, carport, or the ground. That energy is collected as a direct current (DC) within the cells of the panels. An inverter then converts that power into usable alternating current (AC). Once that process has occurred, the energy can be used by your home or sent back to the grid. Depending upon your area, the energy that flows back to the grid can collect credits (net metering).

Step 1: Consultation

We start all of our relationships in the solar industry with a consultation where a member of our team meets with you to discuss the potential options for your home to begin using solar power. In a no-pressure, no-sale-pitch meeting, either through video consultation or in-person, we talk over what your options may be depending on a number of factors including your budget, placements for panels, and sunlight exposure.

Our team will take a close look at your energy bills to determine your energy consumption and the amount of solar panels that will be needed to power your home.

Step 2: On-Site Evaluation

Call for an on-site evaluation to determine if your home or business is a good candidate for solar panels. Our team will look at the area you hope to use for either roof or ground mounted solar panels. We inspect the area for sunlight and coverage.

Step 3: Municipal Permitting

After a rooftop inspection and an evaluation of your energy usage, we acquire the needed permits from your municipality to install your solar panel system.

Step 4: Installation

This is an exciting day for our team and homeowners! This is the day we install your panels and inverter to get you started on saving money on your energy bills and reducing your carbon footprint.

Step 5: Final Approval and “Flipping the Switch”

The last step in the process of going solar is a final inspection from your municipality and flipping the switch.
