Solar Design and Installation Process

1. Customizing your solar plan: Our technicians will visit, measure and evaluate your home to ensure that a solar system is the right fit for you.  

2. Design approval: Sunrun’s design experts then review and make any adjustments to your custom evaluation. We pay a lot of attention to the details during this step.

3. Permits: We then submit your design to your local city government for permitting.  

4. Installation: After your permit is granted our installers arrive. They’ll go over your custom design, get your approval and then… the work begins! Watch this video -

5. City/County Inspections: There must be a final inspection by the city or county before your system can be connected to the grid.

6. Utility Interconnection: When we submit your documents to the utility company they’ll install net metering1. Your utility will then grant you a “Permission to Operate.”

Now you’re ready to flip the switch and go green with alternative energy. Congratulations!

We’re On It
