-
Efficiency First
Before deciding whether to install a renewable system, fix any energy efficiency gaps in your home or small business. There are so many easy (and even free!) ways to optimize, you may need a much smaller system than you think, or even none at all.
-
Pick Your System
Once you optimize, it’ll be easier to determine which type and size of system is best for your home. You can use our solar calculator in MyAccount to find out what size system you need, and whether a renewable system is a cost-effective option for you.
-
Hire a Contractor
Now you’ll need to find a qualified contractor. It’s important to understand what to look for. An experienced installer will also often help guide you through the paperwork and process, and get you interconnected to the grid.
- Install & Connect
Your contractor can often take care of your permits and applications, work with us to get your Net Energy Meter installed, and get your “Permission to Operate” (PTO) so you’ll start earning bill credits for any surplus energy your generate.
