Solar installation is the phase where the approved design is physically built on-site—turning plans and equipment into a fully constructed solar energy system ready for inspection and operation.
Jobsite safety setup and fall protection
Equipment staging and material verification
Layout marking based on engineered plans
Installing roof attachments or ground foundations
Waterproofing penetrations (for roof systems)
Assembling and securing racking structures
Mounting solar panels onto racking
Aligning and fastening to manufacturer specs
Labeling modules as required by code
Installing inverters, combiners, and disconnects
Running DC and AC wiring in conduit
Grounding and bonding all components
Installing rapid shutdown and monitoring equipment
Connecting the system to the main electrical service
Verifying torque, voltage, polarity, and labeling
Performing initial system checks before inspection
Determines long-term system performance and reliability
Impacts roof integrity, electrical safety, and code compliance
Ensures the system passes inspections and earns PTO
Protects equipment warranties and homeowner investment
Residential: 1–3 days
Solar installation is building the system exactly as designed—securely, safely, and to code—so it’s ready for inspection and final approval.
