Process

Six steps from zip code to permission-to-operate

The typical timeline from signed agreement to permission-to-operate (PTO) is 6–10 weeks. The bottleneck is utility interconnection, not us — but we file early and chase weekly so it never sits.

Step 01 is intake. You drop your zip and bill, I personally read it. No call center, no junior rep. Step 02 is the site visit — 45 minutes, satellite-based mapping, roof orientation, panel scope, electrical run. Step 03 is the custom design and proposal with all applicable incentives modeled.

Steps 04 through 06 are permits + interconnection, install, and PTO + monitoring. We pull permits and file interconnection in week one. Install is one day on the roof for most systems — bundle projects run roof day one, solar day two. Final inspection and PTO close it out, and the monitoring app goes on your phone the same day.

Six discrete, defined steps. Six places we can't hide a corner cut.
