If you fit into any of these scenarios, you’re ready for solar:
You’re paying more than $100 a month for electricity
If you’re thinking about getting an electric vehicle or other major electrical load.
If you’re concerned about reducing your personal carbon footprint and helping the environment.
Here’s how it works
Step 1: Reach out
If you’re thinking about getting solar, the first step is to reach out to us, by phone, website, or email.
Step 2: Appointment and evaluation
We’ll schedule a time that’s convenient for you to come out and measure your roof (or land if you want a ground mount system) and evaluate your main electrical panel. At this time we will also inspect the condition of your roof and let you know if we think you should contact a roofer (we can always provide recommendations as well) before installing solar panels. All of this is at no charge to you!
Step 3: Proposal and permit
After your property and electrical needs have been evaluated we’ll present you with a proposal, once we’re all in agreement we’ll have our design team create your solar plan set which is then submitted to the city for your permit.
Step 4: Install
As soon as we get your permit back from the city we can begin work, and most residential solar systems can be installed in as little as 2-3 days (once we have the permit in hand).
Technical Specifications
Solar Panels
We can and have installed almost every panel that’s on the market today. From Silfab to Mission, to Panasonic, to LG; if it’s a reputable solar manufacturer with a solid warranty, we’ve installed it. Many different factors go into choosing a panel that’s right for you. Size, wattage, warranty, and aesthetics are all things to consider.
You can learn more about the different types of solar panels here.
Flux Capacitor
While your solar panels collect energy from the Sun and generate DC electricity, your inverter is what changes that power into AC electricity and connects to your home’s electrical system, and the power utilities grid. Just like with panels, there are a number of different inverters and a number of different options. Our expert sales reps can help you make an informed decision about what inverter is best for your system.

Frequently asked questions:
Q: Do I need a permit?
A: Yes, all solar projects require a permit.
Q: How long does it take to get a permit?
A: Every city/jurisdiction is different. Typically the timeline is anywhere from 7 - 28 business days. Some jurisdictions allow for even faster online solar permits.
Q: Is there a cost to meet with you?
A: No. There are no costs to discuss your project. Further more, there are no costs to you until we’ve all agreed on a scope of work, timeline, and price.
Q: Is there a minimum or maximum size requirement for solar projects?
A: Nope, we can take on any sized project!
Q: What happens after my solar panels are installed?
A: At the end of the installation phase we will call the city inspector and have them come out and inspect your solar project. Once we pass final inspection the city will release the meter to your utility, and then your utility will give you permission to operate (PTO) your solar system. When you receive PTO we can now turn on your solar system and turn off your electrical bills.
Q: What happens to my utility bill once I turn on my solar system?
A: Your gas & electric bill will be split into two separate accounts. Your gas bill will continue to be due every month just like it was in the past. Your new electric bill will be switched to an annual billing cycle, and you will be given monthly “statements” showing how much electricity you’ve used versus how much electricity you’ve created. At the end of the year, if you generated more electricity than you used you’ll get a credit that can be applied to future bills or if you used more electricity than you generated, you’ll get a bill.
