FAQ's

Most Asked Questions During This Stage.

How long will my project take?

Great Question!  We guarantee that your system will be operational within 120 days following your site survey, 150 days for MidAmerican, Alliant and Holy Cross customers.  If we are not able to make our deadline, we will take care of your monthly solar payments for you!

 

How long until this stage is complete?

This stage can take anywhere from a few days to about 10 weeks. 

The scheduled day is forecasted to have bad weather, will the installation still happen?

The safety of our crew outweighs just about everything.  We'll try to keep our scheduled day but if we encounter snow, rain, thunderstorms or high winds or other inclement weather we may have to reschedule for the safety of our crew.  We will try to reschedule as soon as possible.

What if I can't be home when the installation crew needs access to my attic?

That's not a problem.  We just need your expressed permission to enter the home only to perform your installation as long as someone under 18 is not in the home.  

Once my system is installed, can it start generating electricity?

Awesome question!  Technically your system COULD generate its own electricity once its complete.  However, we are not permitted to turn the system on until the system has been inspected and the power utility gives your system permission to operate.  Don't worry, you're still covered by our On Time, On Budget Guarantee!
