Going Solar Steps
A site inspector will measure and assess your roof. This will require access to your roof, backyard, and an unlocked service panel.
We will work on how your panels will be arranged, as well as the size and shapes needed to ensure they look great on your home and how you want them.
Applications for permits, utility, HOA and other agencies are completed and filed to collect potential incentives and necessary permits.
The system is then installed and quality checks are completed.
The city will then inspect the installation.
Upon their approval, the utility company also completes their review of the system and installation.
How Solar Works
How Solar Works
Although they may look complicated, solar panels have no moving parts and require very little maintenance, other than occasional cleaning. An inverter takes the DC power directly from the solar panels and converts it to the same AC power that your home uses. There is no need to change your appliances. Solar + battery storage is a great combination but batteries are optional. Nothing in your home will have to change.
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity that your home can use, reducing your electricity bills. Solar is more affordable than utilities and a range of financing options can help you generate savings right away.
During the day you’ll power your home with solar power. If you produce more electricity than needed, it is exported to the grid for utility company credit, and these credits help cover the cost of utility provided power at night.
Your monitoring system sends information about how much power your solar system is producing in real-time so you can maintain optimal system performance.
Solar Incentives
26% Federal Tax Credit
The investment tax credit (ITC), also known as the federal solar tax credit, allows you to deduct 26 percent of the cost of purchasing and installing a solar energy system from your federal taxes in 2021. Don’t wait! In 2023, the federal ITC is gone forever.
Renewable Energy Production Tax Credit. An individual or corporate income tax credit is available for taxpayers who own a qualified energy generator that first produces electricity from and after Dec. 31, 2010, and before Jan. 1, 2021, using a qualified energy resource.
There’s an incredible opportunity offered by APS for those who want solar and battery storage for their home. APS is offering an incentive of up to $3,750 paid directly to you after your system is installed. This is in addition to the 26% Federal Tax Credit and the $1,000 state tax credit. We do not expect this incentive to last very long and it likely will sell out by the end of 2021, or sooner. Contact us now so we can secure this incentive for you.
This is not always thought of as an incentive and is not as obvious as a tax credit or cash payment but it is quite generous financial incentive. APS is mandated to compensate homeowners that export solar energy at a very attractive rate, which is sometimes higher than what they would otherwise pay for energy generated from other sources.

Provider Checklist
Checklist To Choose A Solar Installer
Here is a helpful checklist with guidelines for selecting the best solar company for your solar installation. These tips and questions will help you identify which solar companies have the experience, quality products, trained personnel and the financial strength you want. The quality of the solar installer and equipment you select will directly affect your long-term savings and the system’s reliability. Pick the right combination and you’ll be setup for decades of success.
Make sure you’re getting the best equipment and service from a trusted company. Find out how long they have been in business and read reviews from third party sites like Yelp, Google, Solar Reviews and BBB.
If a salesperson pressures you by telling you the price will increase tomorrow, they’re not the right partner. A trusted company will help guide you along every step from selecting the best financing for you. It is very common for solar companies to push a single financing product that makes them the most money even if it’s not in the customer’s best interest. Be very cautious about any company that only recommends a solar lease or PPA as these are the most costly options available. We are not incentivized by any of our financing options.
Cut out the middleman and deal directly with the solar contractor. Never e-sign a contract before you ask them if they handle service requests and repairs. If the right equipment is installed in the right way, your solar system should operate without incident for many years. But what if something does go wrong? If it ever does, you’ll want a company that has a dedicated and experienced service department that can quickly diagnose and resolve issues in the field. We have a dedicated services department and we make every effort to correct any issue in the shortest time possible.
Ask for a copy of the contractor’s and subcontractor’s license, insurance and worker’s comp policies to ensure that you will not liable for damages or injuries during installation.
Don’t sign a contract until you review which payment method is best for your situation.
WHAT SHOULD YOU CONSIDER BEFORE starting the SOLAR PANEL INSTALLatIon process?
More Americans than ever before are discovering the benefits of residential solar panel installation. Fewer than 2% of homes across the United States have solar panels today, but solar capacity is projected to grow significantly thanks to an abundance of sunshine, falling panel prices, and favorable policies.
Here are several factors that you should know to determine whether your home is a good fit for solar panel installation:
- Shade is one of the most common reasons people cannot install residential solar panels. Trees or other impediments to full sunlight throughout the entire day can negatively impact solar panel efficiency.
- For rooftop systems, your roof must be in good condition. It is ideal (not required) for your home's roof to have south or west exposure. Solar can be mounted on all roof materials.
- Depending on the residential property, ground-mounted solar panel systems and solar carports may be good alternatives if rooftop solar panel installation is not feasible.
- The economics of solar generally make sense only if you are planning to stay in your home for at least 2 years. If you are planning to move soon, consider waiting to install solar on your new home!
- If you are building a home, it’s less expensive to incorporate solar into your plans from the beginning. We will work with your developer to ensure the process is efficient and seamless for you.
Many life changes can contribute to an increase in household electricity usage that may prompt you to consider solar panel installation on your home. These include moving into a larger home, adding to your family with children or older parents moving in, purchasing an electric vehicle, or installing a pool. If your electricity bills have recently gone up, now is the perfect time to see how residential solar panels can lower your bills.
