When it comes to solar panel installation, it’s always good to have a plan. That’s because your energy needs are different than your neighbor’s. Your budget is also different. Even your roof is different. At OneRoof Energy, we aren’t just a solar panel installation company. We work with each customer to design a solar energy system tailored to their energy needs.
The hallmark of a good solar energy system is one that produces just enough energy throughout the year to cover your energy needs. Not too much…not too little…just right. This doesn’t just magically happen. The key is a carefully researched and developed solar panel design. Here’s how we do it:
When you contact OneRoof Energy and express interest in working with a solar panel installation
company, the first thing we want to know is your average monthly energy usage. This number will help
us determine how many solar panels you need to create that same amount of energy each month. Don’t
worry if you have no clue how much energy you use each month – most homeowner don’t. In reality,
your usage will fluctuate throughout the year, usually spiking in the summer months as the air
conditioning is put to good use.
To determine your energy use, we will ask you to send us a copy of your most recent utility bill, which should include a summary of energy usage for the past 12 months. This will give us a good idea of your average monthly energy usage and whether your utility company bills at tiered rates.
Your energy usage is only one piece of the puzzle that will help our solar technicians design your
personalized solar panel array. We also want to know about you. During your consultation, we will help
you determine your budget and ask you about any plans for the future. Using that information our energy
technician will design your personalized solar panel system and get your approval right then and there.
This process allows us to speed up the solar panel installation, letting you see your savings sooner.
Every home and roof is unique, and a big part of crafting your solar panel design has to do with understanding your property. OneRoof Energy will send an energy technician to your home to assess your roof. The technician will make sure your roof is in good enough condition for the panels, determine the best areas of the roof that receives the most sun, and determine if things like trees are creating shade, which could lower the efficiency of your panels.
At OneRoof Energy, our goal is to make solar panel installation as seamless and quick as possible for you.
That’s why we keep you in the loop every step of the way. Once the design gets your green light, here is
what you can expect when installation begins.
Don’t expect hammer strikes and people crawling on your roof right away. After you approve your solar
panel design, the next step is for us to submit the plans to the city and possibly to your HOA. If you’ve
ever attempted to get a permit for a remodel or other home project, you know that this process can
sometimes be difficult. Fortunately, we’ handle all the red tape on your behalf.
Once we receive our permits, it’s time to get down to business. We will tell you the date and time our crew will arrive so you can be prepared to have our workers on your property. The installation process may be a little noisy and distracting, so some homeowners choose to be out of the home during installation or to keep certain pets off the premise. You can rest assured that we will treat your property with respect and ensure the solar panel installation goes off without a hitch.
Once your beautiful panels are up on your roof, we will need to close out the permit. That means a city
or county worker will come to your property to inspect and sign off on the work. We will also send a
third party inspector to double check the work of our crew.
Once the permit is closed out, we will let the utility company know that your panels are ready to get started. As soon as the utility company sends approval, we can turn the system on and watch your meter start turning backwards.
