Solar power has become increasingly popular over the past few years, with more and more homeowners switching to this renewable energy source. While switching to solar may seem like a big decision, it can be straightforward and rewarding. This blog post will look at what to expect when switching to solar.
The first step in switching to solar is to find a reputable solar installation company and schedule an initial consultation. During this consultation, the solar company will ask about your energy usage, roof orientation and shading, and other factors impacting the system design. They may also perform a site assessment to evaluate your roof's condition and suitability for solar panels.
Once the solar company has gathered all the necessary information, they will design a solar system that meets your energy needs and budget. They will then provide you with a proposal that outlines the system design, costs, and financing options.
Before installation can begin, the solar company must obtain any necessary permits and approvals from your local government and utility company. This process can take several weeks to a few months, depending on your location.
Once all the permits and approvals are in place, the solar company will schedule an installation date. The installation process typically takes a few days. During this time, the solar panels will be mounted on your roof, the inverter will be installed, and the electrical wiring will be connected.
After the installation is complete, the solar company will activate your solar system and connect it to the grid. You will then be able to start generating your own clean energy and receiving credits for any excess energy you produce. The solar company will also provide you with a monitoring system so you can track your energy production and usage.
While solar panels require little maintenance, it's important to have your system inspected regularly to ensure it's performing optimally. Most solar companies offer maintenance plans and support to help you keep your system running smoothly.
Switching to solar is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint and save money on your energy bills. By knowing what to expect during the process, you can make a more informed decision about whether solar is the right choice for you.
