Solar Installation Process

1. Initial Consultation

The process begins with a consultation, either in person or virtually. During this meeting, Solar Brokers will assess your energy needs, review your utility bills, and discuss the potential benefits of going solar for your home. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about how solar energy works.

2. Site Assessment

After the consultation, a site assessment is conducted to evaluate your home’s roof, sun exposure, and overall structural condition. This ensures your home is suitable for solar panels. Measurements and data are collected to design the most efficient system for your energy needs.

3. System Design

Based on the site assessment, a customized solar energy system is designed specifically for your home. The design takes into account factors like the size of your roof, sun orientation, energy consumption, and any local regulations.

4. Permitting

Solar Brokers will handle all necessary permits and paperwork for your installation, including any required approvals from local authorities, utility companies, and homeowner associations. This process can take some time, but the team will ensure everything is in order.

5. Installation

Once the permits are approved, the installation begins. The team installs the solar panels, inverter, and other necessary equipment on your roof or property. The installation process typically takes 1-3 days, depending on the size of the system.

6. System Inspection

After installation, your system will undergo a thorough inspection by both Solar Brokers and local authorities to ensure it meets all safety and code requirements. Once passed, your system is ready to be connected to the grid.

7. Connection to the Grid

After the inspection, your solar system is connected to the electrical grid. Your utility company will install a bi-directional meter that tracks the energy you produce and use. This enables you to benefit from net metering, which credits you for any excess electricity you generate.

8. System Activation

With everything connected and inspected, your solar energy system is activated. You’ll start generating clean energy, reducing your electricity bills, and contributing to a greener planet.

9. Ongoing Support and Monitoring

Solar Brokers provides ongoing support and monitoring of your system to ensure its operating at peak performance. Most solar systems come with a monitoring app that allows you to track your energy production and savings in real-time.

By following these steps, Solar Brokers makes the process of going solar straightforward and hassle-free, ensuring you get the most out of your investment in renewable energy.
