FAQs
How does Reliance ensure a seamless connection between my existing electrical system and the new solar installation?
Our licensed electricians conduct a thorough site inspection to map your current wiring, breaker panel capacity, and load distribution. We then design a custom interconnection plan using UL-listed components and smart inverters that synchronize with your utility grid. All work is performed to the latest NEC standards, so you experience no interruption in household power during or after the solar upgrade.
Will my appliances work the same once solar panels are integrated?
Yes. After integration, your appliances don’t know whether power is coming from the grid or your rooftop array. The solar inverter converts DC from the panels into clean, utility-grade AC that matches grid voltage and frequency. If solar production ever dips (clouds, night), the system automatically draws supplemental electricity from the grid, so performance remains unchanged.
Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel for solar?
Not always. If your main service panel has sufficient ampacity and breaker slots, we can land the solar back-feed breaker without modifications. If the panel is older or near capacity, our team will recommend and quote an upgrade to prevent over-loading and to comply with code. Upgrades can include new breaker spaces, higher-amp service, or a dedicated sub-panel for solar and future home electrification projects.
How long does the full electrical and solar installation process take?
Most residential projects are completed in 4–8 weeks from contract signing. Key milestones: 1) Site survey & electrical assessment (1–2 days), 2) Engineering & permit approvals (2–3 weeks, jurisdiction dependent), 3) Panel & inverter installation (1–3 days), 4) Electrical tie-in and inspection (1 day), 5) Utility interconnection approval & system turn-on (1–2 weeks). We coordinate all permits and inspections to keep the timeline on track.
What safety measures are taken during installation?
Reliance follows OSHA job-site standards, uses fall-protection for roof crews, and de-energizes circuits before working inside panels. All wiring is routed in UV-resistant conduit, ground-fault protection is installed per NEC 690, and every system is megger-tested for insulation integrity. A final inspection by the local authority and your utility verifies that the installation is safe and code-compliant before energizing.
How will I monitor energy production and consumption after installation?
Every system includes a smart monitoring platform accessible via web or mobile app. It displays real-time solar output, household energy usage, grid imports/exports, and environmental offsets (CO₂ saved). You’ll receive alerts if production drops and monthly performance reports. For homes with batteries, the dashboard also shows state of charge and backup reserve levels.
