06:30How it works
Five steps, one crew, one price.
From the first hour on your roof to the day you switch on. The waiting is mostly paperwork; we keep you posted every week.
-
01
about 1 hour
Site survey
About an hour on your roof and in your garage: roof condition, shade, the electrical panel and twelve months of bills.
-
02
within 1 week
Design and price
A panel layout drawn for your roof, a production estimate and one written price. No pressure to sign the same day.
-
03
usually 3 to 8 weeks
Permits and utility
We file with the city and the utility and keep you posted. This is usually the longest wait.
-
04
1 to 2 days
Install day
Our own crew, usually one or two days. Roof penetrations are flashed and sealed, the cable runs are tidy.
-
05
usually 1 to 3 weeks
Inspection and switch-on
The city inspects, the utility approves, then we switch on together and set up the monitoring app with you.
Durations are typical for the Phoenix area and depend on the city and the utility.
09:00Site survey
What we check before we draw a single panel.
Roof condition
If the roof needs replacing in the next few years, we say so before we put panels on it.
Shade, hour by hour
Trees, chimneys and the neighbor's second floor, measured across the year, not guessed.
Electrical panel
Older panels sometimes need an upgrade first. You hear that at the survey, not on install day.
Your usage
Twelve months of bills show when you use power. That decides whether a battery makes sense.

Illustration with a simplified model: a 7.2 kW system and a 13.5 kWh battery on a clear June day in Phoenix. Your numbers depend on your roof, your usage and the weather.
