How long does the solar installation process take?
The solar installation process typically takes between 1 to 3 months, depending on permitting, design, and installation phases. After the initial consultation and site assessment, we'll design your system and handle the permit application process. Once approved, the installation itself usually takes just a few days. Our team is committed to making the process as efficient as possible.
Can solar panels be installed on any type of roof?
Solar panels can be installed on most types of roofs, including asphalt shingle, metal, and tile roofs. The key factors are the roof's orientation, angle, and structural integrity. We'll conduct a thorough site assessment to determine the best solar solution for your specific roof type. If your roof is not ideal for solar, we can explore alternative options such as ground-mounted systems.
