How It Works
Eight stages, documented end to end
You should always know what stage your project is in and what happens next. Timelines depend on permitting, utility processing, and equipment availability.
Project stages
From first call to long-term service
1. Inquiry
You share goals, equipment details, and property information.
- Phone, text, chat, or form
- Immediate acknowledgement
- Path recommendation
2. Assessment
Virtual review or on-site visit documents the actual conditions.
- Roof and panel review
- Load and circuit list
- Written findings
3. Design & proposal

5. Installation

An assessment is the fastest way to replace assumptions with documented facts about your property.
