Consultation
Welcome to the beginning of your solar journey. Our Consultation is a friendly, no-pressure conversation where we get to know you, your home, and your energy needs. We're here to answer your questions and help you explore the potential of solar energy.
During the consultation, we discuss your energy needs, assess your home's solar potential, and answer any questions you have about solar energy. It's a relaxed conversation, not a sales pitch.
Not at all. Just bring your curiosity and any questions you might have about solar energy. We're here to help you understand how to go solar in Texas, not to overwhelm you with technical jargon.
That's perfectly okay. Our consultation is about exploring possibilities, not pushing decisions. You're free to decide what's best for you and your home, we're just here to show you how to go solar in Texas!
Approval
After our initial chat, we move on to the Approval stage. Here, we not only ensure your home is suitable for solar, but also explore lending options and incentives you may be eligible for with you. It's about making solar possible and financially sensible for you.

Approval is based on several factors, including your home's sun exposure, roof condition, and local solar incentives. We're looking for the best solar potential, not just any solar potential.
If your home isn't approved, it doesn't mean the end of your solar journey. There may be other energy solutions or improvements that can prepare your home for future solar installation.
No, the approval process is part of our commitment to making solar accessible and understandable. There are no hidden fees or unexpected costs.
Site Survey
Once your home is approved, we conduct a Site Survey. Our team visits your home to take measurements and assess the best locations for your solar panels. It's a hands-on process that helps us understand your home's unique solar potential.
During the site survey, our team takes detailed measurements of your roof and evaluates the best spots for solar panels based on factors like sun exposure and roof angle.
While it's not necessary for you to be home, we always appreciate the opportunity to walk you through our process and answer any questions you might have.
The site survey typically takes a few hours, but this can vary depending on the size and complexity of your home.
Design & Engineering
With the Site Survey complete, we enter the Design & Engineering phase. This is where we create a custom solar solution tailored to your home. It's a blend of science and art, designed to maximize your solar potential and complement your home's aesthetics.
Our team of experts uses the data from the site survey to design a solar system that maximizes your home's solar potential and fits seamlessly with its aesthetics.
Absolutely. Your input is invaluable in creating a solar solution that not only meets your energy needs but also complements your home's design.
We're here to create a solar system that you're happy with. If you want to make changes, we're more than willing to adjust the design until it's just right.
Permitting & Approval
After the design is finalized, we handle the Permitting & Approval process. This is where we navigate the paperwork to ensure your solar system meets local regulations and standards. It's about crossing the 't's and dotting the 'i's to keep your solar journey on track.
The permitting process involves submitting the design plans to local authorities, who review them to ensure they comply with all local codes and regulations.
Not at all. We handle all the paperwork and liaise with the local authorities. You can sit back and look forward to the installation.
The duration can vary depending on local authorities, but we strive to complete the process as quickly as possible to keep your solar journey on track.
HOA Approval
If you live in a community with a Homeowners Association (HOA), we'll also handle the HOA Approval process. This is where we ensure your solar system aligns with any community guidelines. It's about working together to create a solar solution that benefits you and your community.
We'll work with your HOA to understand their restrictions and design a system that meets both their guidelines and your energy needs.
While Texas laws prohibit an HOA from preventing a homeowner to have solar installed, we'll work closely with your HOA to address their concerns and find a solution that satisfies everyone. Your journey to solar doesn't end at a 'no'.
We understand that maintaining the aesthetic integrity of your community is important. Our team will work closely with your HOA to design a system that meets their aesthetic guidelines without compromising on efficiency.
Installation
With all approvals in place, we move on to the exciting part: Installation. This is where your solar journey becomes a reality. It's about transforming your home into a beacon of renewable energy. You're almost ready to experience what it's like to go solar in Texas!
Installation typically takes a few hours, but this can vary depending on the size and complexity of your solar system.
No, our team handles everything. All you need to do is provide access to your property.
If the weather doesn't cooperate, we'll reschedule the installation at the earliest opportunity. Your safety and the quality of our work are our top priorities.
Permission to Operate
The final step is obtaining Permission to Operate. This is where your local utility company gives the green light for your solar system to start powering your home. It's the moment when your solar journey comes full circle, and you start harnessing the power of the sun.
It involves a final inspection by your utility company to ensure the system is safe and compliant. Once approved, your solar system can be connected to the grid.
The timing can vary depending on your utility company and local permitting office timelines, but we'll keep you updated every step of the way.
Once you have Permission to Operate, your solar system is ready to go! You can start harnessing the power of the sun to generate clean, renewable energy for your home.
Don't let the sun set on your savings.
