Installing solar panels made simple

You’ve made your decision to go solar, and you’re ready to install panels. Welcome to the growing community of homeowners around the globe who care about energy savings and creating a healthier planet for future generations through the environmental benefits of solar power.

The most important thing to remember is that we do all the heavy lifting of installing solar panels, and you are kept informed every step of the way.

The solar installation process: step-by-step outline

1. Customizing Your Solar Plan: Our technicians will visit, measure, and evaluate your home to ensure that a solar energy system is the right fit for you. They’ll determine how much energy your home needs and whether your roof is suitable for roof mounts and solar shingles.

2. Design Approval: Sunrun’s design experts then review and make any adjustments to your custom evaluation. We pay a lot of attention to the details during this step, including the layout of your solar array, electrical wiring, and electrical components.

3. Permits: We then submit your solar panels design to your local city government for permitting. This step ensures that your solar panel system meets all local regulations and safety standards.

4. Installation: After your permit is granted our installers arrive to install solar panels. They’ll go over your custom system design, get your approval, and then the work begins! This includes setting up roof mounts and ensuring the electrical panel and battery bank (if applicable) are properly connected.

5. City/County Inspections: There must be a final inspection by the local authority before your system can be connected to the utility grid or set up as an off-grid system.

6. Utility Interconnection: When we submit your documents to the utility company, they’ll install net metering, ensuring your solar production is properly tracked. Your utility will then grant you a “Permission to Operate,” allowing your system to generate usable electricity and contribute to the grid tie system.

Now, you’re ready to flip the switch and enjoy the solar power you’ve harnessed. With your battery backup in place, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that you’re prepared for any potential outages. Congratulations on embracing the future of energy with solar systems!
