7 Steps to Going Solar
SITE SURVEY
An expert Sunrun Site Technician will visit to measure, review and finalize the plans we initially discussed. Just show them in and get back to your day.
SYSTEM DESIGN
We follow-up to review any tweaks or changes to our initial plan and make sure you’re happy with the result.
PERMITTING
Your roof gets an upgrade! The average install will take about a day, but you just need to be there to let us in.
INSTALLATION
We’ll handle the permitting and paperwork with the city. We’ll let you know when everything is good to go.
INSPECTIONS
Once your system is installed, we’ll schedule the inspection with the city. A rep will stop by to ensure the new system is up to code.
UTILITY HOOKUP
We’ll work with your utility to get everything connected. The utility will connect your system to the grid and may need to install a new meter.
POWER ON
Flip the switch, sit back and put the sun to work for you!
