Some basic research can help you decide if you're ready to install solar. How much electricity do you use? Do you have a good roof for solar? What is the typical cost of solar? Would some kind of solar financing make sense for you?

Site Evaluation

A solar energy consultant will visit your home to see if solar is right for you and will answer questions. They'll present a detailed proposal for a customized system based on your roof and electricity needs.

Review Proposals

It's a good idea to get more than one proposal but too many can often be confusing.

Sign Contract and Rebate Paperwork

Once you've selected a solar company, you'll sign a contract and pay a deposit. You'll also need to sign rebate and utility paperwork, although the solar company will take care of the processing.

Install System

Depending on the time of year, it will be 1 or 2 months before your system is built. The actual installation will take only 1-3 days.

Utility Permission

California utilities must give you permission before you can turn on your solar system. This, ideally, takes 30 days or less from the time the paperwork is submitted.
