In this initial phase, we learn about your property, energy usage, goals, and answer all your questions.
"How much will this cost?"
"Can I really do this myself?"
"What's the ROI in my area?"
"Do I need batteries?"
"What equipment is best for my situation?"
"How difficult is the installation?"
Our licensed Professional Engineers create a complete, customized solar system design tailored to your property, energy needs, and goals.
We optimize for:
Our conservative engineering approach and thorough documentation ensure your permit sails through approval. Minor revisions included at no charge.

Permit issued, begin installation
Rare, minor changes
We handle at no charge
Very rare
We revise until approved
We provide unlimited revisions for AHJ-requested changes at no additional charge. Our 98% first-time approval rate means this is rarely needed.
You install the system (with our guidance), pass inspection, and get utility permission to operate.
Competitive pricing, verified compatibility
Use our BOM, we verify specs
Interconnection application
Utility reviews system
Permission to Operate!
Bi-directional meter tracks production and consumption, crediting you for excess solar energy. We help with net metering agreement setup.

"I'm not particularly handy, but the instructions were clear. Took my time over three weekends. Worth it!"
A:Many of our clients aren't electricians. Modern solar equipment (especially microinverters) is designed for easier installation. Plus, you can hire an electrician for final connections and still save 30-40%.
A:Our designs ensure you have the right plan. Most "mistakes" are easily corrected. We're here to support troubleshooting. Plus, inspections catch issues before system goes live.
A:Actual installation is typically 2-5 days of work (spread over weekends if needed). Most of the timeline is waiting (permits, equipment, utility) - not active work.
A:We help troubleshoot until your system is operational. Our designs are proven. If equipment is defective, warranties cover replacement.
A:Proper flashing techniques prevent leaks. Many DIY'ers hire roofers just for mounting ($1,000-$2,500) and do the rest themselves. Still save substantially.
