They’ll run a personalized analysis of your home with BrightPath, our proprietary solar design technology. We’ll only recommend solar if it’s the right fit for your home energy needs.
Every household will need a different number of panels based on how much energy it uses, the climate in the area, and how much direct sunlight hits its roof.

This relies on factors like the utility you get your power from, how much electricity you use, and how much sunlight your home gets during the day. We’ll only recommend solar if it’s the right fit for your home energy needs and lifestyle.
Your solar system will produce energy
Having solar panels on your home does not entirely get rid of your electric bill. Your home will still remain connected to the electric grid, and you will receive a monthly bill from your electric company. With most utilities, there is a fixed connection or service charge on your monthly statement that you will pay regardless of how little electricity you use. You will also be charged for any power pulled from the grid when your system is not producing.
Once you’re approved for a solar installation, your home will undergo a site assessment so our Solar Design Experts can create a personalized solar panel system design for your unique needs.After that, our Solar Design Experts will make any necessary adjustments to your system design and get your final approval. Once it’s approved, we’ll submit your system design to the city for permitting, which can take up to eight weeks. From there, or one of our local certified partners will perform your solar installation.

Solar panels can last anywhere between 25 to 30 years, sometimes more. But this doesn’t mean the panels on your roof will stop producing electricity after a couple of decades. It just means that their energy production will decrease to what solar panel manufacturers consider optimal to meet the average households energy needs. With proper care and maintenance, you can expect to receive solar production for the next 20 to 30 years
