So the goal isn’t to build the biggest array possible — it’s to build a system whose output you actually <strong>use<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <p>That changes the design. We look at when you use power, not just how much. We size the array to your consumption pattern, then add storage so midday surplus carries you through the expensive evening window instead of being sold off cheap.<\/p>\n <p>It also means we’ll tell you when a smaller system is the better buy. Oversizing a roof to chase an export credit that no longer exists is the most common way homeowners overspend on solar in 2026.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"se-section se-alt\">\n <div class=\"se-wrap\">\n <div class=\"se-section-head\"><p class=\"se-kicker\">The process<\/p><h2>From first call to powered up<\/h2><\/div>\n <div class=\"se-g3\" style=\"margin-bottom:22px;\">\n <div class=\"se-card\"><div class=\"se-num\">01<\/div><h3>Site assessment<\/h3><p>We review 12 months of bills, measure your roof, and check shading, roof condition, and your existing electrical panel.<\/p><\/div>\n <div class=\"se-card\"><div class=\"se-num\">02<\/div><h3>Design & proposal<\/h3><p>You get a written proposal: equipment, layout, production estimate, price, and honest payback math — line by line.<\/p><\/div>\n <div class=\"se-card\"><div class=\"se-num\">03<\/div><h3>Permits<\/h3><p>We prepare plans and pull city permits, and submit your interconnection application to the utility.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"se-g3\">\n <div class=\"se-card\"><div class=\"se-num\">04<\/div><h3>Installation<\/h3><p>Most residential installs take one to three days on site, depending on system size and whether a panel upgrade is involved.<\/p><\/div>\n <div class=\"se-card\"><div class=\"se-num\">05<\/div><h3>Inspection & PTO<\/h3><p>City inspection, then Permission to Operate from the utility.

We’ll walk you through what genuinely applies to your situation, with no wishful math.<\/p><\/div>\n <div class=\"se-faq-item\"><h3>Can I add a battery later instead?<\/h3><p>Yes, though it’s usually cheaper to do it at the same time as your solar because the electrical work and permitting overlap.

So the goal isn’t to build the biggest array possible — it’s to build a system whose output you actually <strong>use<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <p>That changes the design. We look at when you use power, not just how much. We size the array to your consumption pattern, then add storage so midday surplus carries you through the expensive evening window instead of being sold off cheap.<\/p>\n <p>It also means we’ll tell you when a smaller system is the better buy. Oversizing a roof to chase an export credit that no longer exists is the most common way homeowners overspend on solar in 2026.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"se-section se-alt\">\n <div class=\"se-wrap\">\n <div class=\"se-section-head\"><p class=\"se-kicker\">The process<\/p><h2>From first call to powered up<\/h2><\/div>\n <div class=\"se-g3\" style=\"margin-bottom:22px;\">\n <div class=\"se-card\"><div class=\"se-num\">01<\/div><h3>Site assessment<\/h3><p>We review 12 months of bills, measure your roof, and check shading, roof condition, and your existing electrical panel.<\/p><\/div>\n <div class=\"se-card\"><div class=\"se-num\">02<\/div><h3>Design & proposal<\/h3><p>You get a written proposal: equipment, layout, production estimate, price, and honest payback math — line by line.<\/p><\/div>\n <div class=\"se-card\"><div class=\"se-num\">03<\/div><h3>Permits<\/h3><p>We prepare plans and pull city permits, and submit your interconnection application to the utility.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"se-g3\">\n <div class=\"se-card\"><div class=\"se-num\">04<\/div><h3>Installation<\/h3><p>Most residential installs take one to three days on site, depending on system size and whether a panel upgrade is involved.<\/p><\/div>\n <div class=\"se-card\"><div class=\"se-num\">05<\/div><h3>Inspection & PTO<\/h3><p>City inspection, then Permission to Operate from the utility.

We’ll walk you through what genuinely applies to your situation, with no wishful math.<\/p><\/div>\n <div class=\"se-faq-item\"><h3>Can I add a battery later instead?<\/h3><p>Yes, though it’s usually cheaper to do it at the same time as your solar because the electrical work and permitting overlap.
