How It Works

Four steps, start to finish -- no guessing what happens after you reach out.

01

Tell us your address & bill

A 2-minute form -- your address and average electric bill. We check your roof's sun exposure using satellite imagery, no site visit needed to get started.

02

Get a custom CAD design

We engineer your exact panel layout -- azimuth, tilt angle, and wind rating -- sized to your roof and your usage, not a generic template.

03

We handle permits & utility sign-off

Permitting, scheduling, and getting Dominion, Pepco, or BGE to approve your interconnection -- all of it is on us, start to finish.

04

Installation day, then you're live

Our crew installs and the inspector signs off, then your system goes live -- your rate locks in and any extra power flows back for 1:1 credit.
