1. Review your electric bill
Solar panels generate power and can significantly offset your monthly electricity bill up to about 25 years. In this case, the higher your bill, the more likely you’ll benefit from solar energy. Bear in mind that electricity rates and usage are volatile, and it advisable to find the average bill for several months.
If not sure how much you can save, use an online Solar Calculator that incorporates local electricity rate data to give you customized estimates of what you can expect to save and just how an investment will pay off.
2. Custom Made Proposals
Homeowners looking to go solar have different legal and personal requirements to fulfill. Each house has different nuances that affect solar panel installation. We will assess your home and create a free custom proposal made specifically for your home.
3. Site Survey
The site survey includes the inspection of your home or business and shows you what needs to be taken care of before we install solar panels. During the survey, our team identifies the best place to install the solar panels. We inspect your roof as well as the shade and energy needs of your property. We get all the right details about your property so we install the right solar panel system properly.
4. Cad and Engineering
We create a digital design of the solar panels that will be installed on your property. The implementation of AutoCAD software is to provide a visual of the solar system we are going to install.
After we complete the site survey, we estimate the amount of power your solar system will generate. All the possible outcomes are reviewed by our engineers before we provide a proposal for installing the solar panels.
5. Permits
We are here to make permitting easy for you. Our experienced team is educated on all the permits required by the state of Illinois to install solar panels. Before going through with solar panel installation, you have to get permits from your local government. You have to apply for a structural or building permit, an electrical permit, and a dedicated solar photovoltaic (PV) permit. We can even get local authorities to inspect your solar system after installation.
6. Installation
Now for the final step in the solar panel installation process; the installation. Usually, the roof is the best place to install solar panels because it usually catches the most sunlight. But, some people may benefit from having them mounted somewhere else like on the ground. If the roof is the best place for them, you need a healthy roof.
Our team can recommend solar maintenance tasks to keep your solar system healthy and working good as new.
