Benefits of Solar Energy

Solar Energy

Homeowner benefits

Solar power panels, also known as solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, are devices made of semi conductive materials that convert radiation from sunlight into electricity.

Cost Savings
Solar panels allow homeowners to generate their own electricity, reducing reliance on traditional utility companies and potentially lowering energy bills.
Environmental Benefits
Contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable future for our planet. Choosing solar power reduces reliance on fossil fuels, helping to mitigate climate change and air pollution.
Energy Independence
By generating electricity on-site, homeowners become less dependent on the grid, providing stability during power outages and reducing vulnerability to fluctuating energy prices.
Property Value
Homes equipped with solar panels often have higher property values and can sell faster than those without, making them attractive investments for homeowners.
Government Incentives
Many governments offer incentives, such as tax credits or rebates, to encourage the adoption of solar energy, making it more affordable for homeowners to install solar panels.
Low Maintenance
Solar panels require minimal maintenance, typically only needing occasional cleaning to ensure optimal performance. They have no moving parts and can last over 25 years with proper care.

Sustainable Future

Real change from the rooftops

When you power your home with solar panels and backup storage, you’re not just cutting costs—you’re cutting down on global carbon emissions. Get reliable energy while making a positive impact on the planet.

Simple steps, big impact

Steps to get Solar for your home

Your project goes to our design team to achieve maximum production. As soon as your project design is completed, you’ll receive a copy of the proposed plan set for you to review.

Note that any changes to the design after this stage can and will cause delays in completing your solar project, as new permits will have to be obtained.

After the project has been verified, the finance company reviews the file and grants Notice to Proceed (NTP) with the project. ESP will review the site survey report and confirm that the PV installation is possible.

Our team verifies site conditions, takes photos and detailed measurements, and conducts shade studies or other environmental dynamics, if needed.

Final drawings are submitted to your local municipality’s building and construction safety departments. Many cities review and approve plans in a few days, but some cities can take weeks. Similarly, utility submittal and approval processes and timelines vary.

Note that any open permit, code enforcement ticket or any issues concerning unpermitted structures on the property site will cause your local municipality to put a hold on the solar permit. When starting a solar project, please ensure that all open permits requests you may have with your local municipalities are closed out so we can get to work promptly for you.

Once approvals are received your project manager will call to schedule the delivery and set-up of your solar system. The on-site work will typically take about one to three days, depending on the system size and other conditions. Our installation teams are trained, licensed and bonded, technically skilled, and highly experienced.

The local municipality needs to approve our handiwork. Your project manager will call and arrange a time to have an inspector from the local municipality come out to review your solar project. This may take more than one inspection, in the event that adjustments are required.

The approval from the final inspection is submitted to the utility company for interconnection and Permission to Operate (PTO). Depending on your utility provider, it may take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Your project manager will call you to schedule the activation, go over system monitoring, and answer any final questions you have.
