Our Process:
Start to Finish
Step 1: Preliminary Estimate
At step one of your solar project, our objective is two-fold:
- Size the proposed system conservatively and realistically according to your historic energy consumption (a step that is often executed poorly in our industry)
- Estimate as close to the actual cost of the project as possible so that you aren’t left feeling surprised down the road
To ensure best accuracy of your quote, we ask that all fields in the request form (here) be filled out to the best of your knowledge.
Within two days of receiving your quote request, we will send you your preliminary estimate. This will give you a ballpark cost of the entire project including all solar equipment and labor (provided your roof is in adequate condition and your utility company allows for the proposed system to be installed).
Step 2: Home Visit
Contact us to schedule your home visit.
At the allotted time, Jeremy will visit with you and conduct the following:
- Project evaluation of electrical infrastructure; he will assess whether the site is adequate for solar equipment and will take note of any special circumstances that need to be factored into the proposed system
- System design alterations (if needed)
- Presentation of official estimate and contract
- Contract signature if you choose to proceed
- Collection of deposit to cover the cost of plan engineering, permits, and application fees
Step 3: Permitting
- Submit plan to the utility company
- Utility company approves
- Submit plans + utility approval letter to the building department for permit
- Building department issues permit
Step 4: Installation
- Schedule the install
- Jeremy and his crew begin install within seven days (typically) of approval
- Jeremy and his crew complete install within two to three days (typically)
- Utility company will notify JP electric when system is ready to operate
Step 5: Activation and Walkthrough
Jeremy will drop by for a final visit to activate the system, give you a walkthrough, and answer any outstanding questions you may have.
