Process

The process to switch is simple but detailed. Having a quality contractor from our state will allow you to move through this process without delays. South Carolina Solar is here to help you every step of the way.

Step 1

Initial Site Visit

Our process starts with an initial visit to your site and informal meeting. We will look at the property to determine the best location for solar installation, to analyze your energy consumption and to see if there are any energy saving measures that can be taken to save you money. With this information gathered, we will complete a solar array design and financial analysis at no cost to you.

Step 2

Project Findings & Customer Approvals

This meeting will allow you to see the initial design for your home, cover the financial aspects, potential saving opportunities and answer any of your questions. If its a good fit, your acceptance will start our project timeline.

Step 3

Site Survey

This step allows us to confirm the initial design and to take any necessary pictures and measurements for building plans and engineering.

Step 4

Approvals

We pay for and submit the necessary applications to Home Owners Associations (HOA) and your utility to get the project review process started.

Step 5

Plans & Engineering

Once we have received the necessary approvals, we will draw your building plans and have the plans stamped by our structural engineer. When our plans have been completed, we will drop them for review at the local municipality.

Step 6

Permitting & Installation

Once plans have been approved, we will call you to schedule the first available installation time that works for you.

Step 7

Inspections & Approvals

When our installation is complete, we will request inspections from the local municipality and utility.

 Step 8

System Commissioning & Savings

We will energize your system and you can start to see the savings right away.
