HOW HOME SOLAR WORKS

From first question to power on your roof

A simple timeline for homeowners across the U.S. who are new to solar—no jargon.

Start with a few details

THE TIMELINE

What happens after you reach out

Every project is a little different, but the stages below are what most homeowners experience.

01

Inquiry

Share ZIP, interest (solar, battery, or both), and optional notes.

02

Review

We check coverage and prepare clear options—not a hard sell.

03

Agreement

You choose a path and sign only when terms make sense.

04

Design

Partners engineer the layout for your roof and electrical panel.

05

Permits & utility

Local permits and interconnection paperwork move in parallel.

06

Install

Crews mount equipment, wire, and leave the site clean.

07

Inspection

City/county and sometimes utility checks confirm code compliance.

08

Turn-on

Permission to operate; monitoring goes live.

How long does it take?

It depends on your utility and location. Installation itself usually takes just two to three weeks, but on rare occasions a project can take a few months from signed agreement to turn-on, usually because of roof work, HOA reviews or utility queues.

Explore home solar, batteries, and payment options while you wait on paperwork—or ask everything up front on the contact form.

AFTER INSTALL

Monitoring and support

Once live, you can track production in the system app or portal. Warranty and service contacts are listed in your packet. If something looks off, reach out early—small issues are easier than long gaps in data.
