The Solar Installation Process

The Step-by-Step Process of Installing Solar on Your Home

The Step-by-Step Process of Going Solar in New Jersey

We make switching to solar a seamless and straightforward process, starting with a free consultation to assess your energy needs, payment preference, and roof suitability. From there, we create a custom solar system design tailored to your property, handle all permitting and approvals, and complete a professional installation with care. Once your system is activated, you’ll enjoy a lifetime of energy savings and the benefits of clean, renewable power.

Initial Consultation

During your initial meeting, a local Solar Expert will evaluate your roof for solar suitability, review your utility bill and energy usage, create an initial solar design, calculate potential savings, and discuss payment options, including check, financing, or a power purchase agreement.

We'll dispatch a technician to assess your roof, attic, and electrical systems for solar suitability, including on-site measurements and irradiation analysis. Our design team will then create a preliminary solar system design and updated savings plan, which we'll review with you during a follow-up call.

Design & Permitting

Design, Permitting, and Registration

Our professional engineering team will design a custom solar system tailored to your energy needs, roof size, orientation, shading, and local building codes. We’ll then handle the permitting and registration process, ensuring fast and efficient approval from the township, utility, and NJ Clean Energy to participate in the SREC-II program.

Solar Installation

Once paperwork is in order, it typically takes just 1-3 days to install your system. Our expert installers will ensure that your solar panels look sleek, with no visible wires or conduit.

Inspection & Activation

Inspection & Activation

Before you can activate your solar system and start saving, you need Permission-to-Operate (PTO) authorization from the utility. This includes completing inspections from the township, with a 10% chance of a follow-up inspection from NJ Clean Energy. Your dedicated Project Manager will manage this process and notify you once your system is energized and ready to go.
