Why an Experienced Installation Partner Matters
A solar project involves considerably more than attaching panels to a roof. Working with a specialized installation partner gives each stage a defined responsible party.
Project stages and timelines vary based on the property, local jurisdiction, utility provider, equipment, financing, inspections, weather and other project-specific conditions. Every project does not necessarily follow the same process or timeline.
