Before Installation:
Verify Contract Details
Before the first solar panel even touches your roof, pause... Have you ensured that consumption monitoring is embedded in your contract? This step is non-negotiable. It's your right to visually inspect and verify the equipment, panel layout, and installation sites. Your home, your rules – ensure everything aligns perfectly with your expectations.
Connectivity
In this digital age, connectivity is king. Opt for Ethernet directly connected to your router for seamless and real-time monitoring. It's not just about installing solar panels; it's about setting up a solar system that you can efficiently monitor and manage. Stay connected, stay informed.
Equipment and Layout Inspection
Now, let’s talk specifics. Inspect the panels and inverters meticulously. Confirm the precise locations of the combiner box, conduits, and junction boxes. No wires should be hanging under the array – that's a red flag. Your installation should be as clean and efficient as the solar energy you are harnessing.
Installation Site Preparation
Dive into the details of installation site preparation. Where will the junction boxes and conduits be placed? Approval is key – ensure you give the green light before any drilling begins. Check the attic conditions and ensure proper conduit runs. It's all in the details – the small things that make a big difference in the long run.

During Installation
Communication
The day has dawned, and the installation process is in full swing. Stay in the loop! Regularly check in for updates or issues. Clear, open communication is the linchpin for ensuring a smooth and efficient installation process. Your voice matters – make sure it's heard to ensure the proper handling of equipment and roof.
Monitoring Installation Process
Here’s where your vigilance plays a pivotal role. Keep a watchful eye to ensure installers do not step on the panels – a seemingly minor misstep can lead to significant issues down the line. Are they wearing rubber-soled shoes? Are they walking on your roof with care and attention? Confirm these details. Your roof is not just a surface; it's a shield for your home, deserving utmost respect and care.
A seamless installation is not just a hope; it's an expectation. Your involvement and oversight during the installation process are not just welcomed; they're crucial. It's your home, your investment, and your future – ensure it's in the right hands, handled with care, precision, and respect.

Post Installation
Walkthrough and Site Check
The hum of drills has ceased, and the panels are in place. But wait... before the team packs up, it's time for a thorough walkthrough and site check. Walk the expanse of the installation to ensure the site is clean and free from debris. Your home should be left in pristine condition, a haven powered by the sun, unmarred by leftover materials or equipment.
Quality Assurance
Post-installation, your journey towards sustainable living is just taking flight. Inquire about the quality team and the comprehensive installation assessment. Are all components securely installed? Are the panels catching the sun as they should? Confirm the setup of the app for seamless system monitoring. Your continuous oversight ensures the enduring efficiency and reliability of your solar power system.
Utility Meter and System Testing
Now, cast your gaze toward the utility meter. Ensure it's calibrated for net metering to accurately track the energy you're harnessing and utilizing. Confirm the comprehensive system testing and setup. Your new solar power system is not just an addition to your home; it's a long-term investment in sustainable living and a brighter, cleaner future.
