After the install is complete, Perihelion Solar will schedule and coordinate all required inspections. After all inspections are complete and paperwork submitted, Perihelion Solar will turn your system on so you can enjoy clean, low-cost solar energy.
Perihelion Solar prides itself on quality solar project development while being a good neighbor, which requires commitment to the permitting and approval of our solar projects. Our development team will work with you and your local utility to submit all required paperwork and permits.
With the material ready to be installed a Perihelion Solar work crew member(s) will come to the site to outline on ground or rooftop projects the location of the array. Once the location is appealing to
the customer construction will begin. Generally, installations take one to two weeks depending on the size of the system and weather conditions.
After the contract has been signed and the deposit paid, Perihelion Solar will order all required supplies. Normally, modules and inverters can take five to ten days to be delivered.
When all of the steps above have been completed and fully agreed upon by the customer, a contract to begin construction will presented for signature and a deposit will be collected.
At this stage, the final design will be optimized with intent to allow for the customer to pursue energy development. Specific materials and labor required for the job will be determined along with a final price tag.
Once the site has been assessed for practical design locations, a solar analysis will be generated using state of art design software. This quote will contain the most affordable solar system design for energy and economic security.
A Perihelion associate will be in contact to ensure a viable location for the solar project to be built. Factors considered include structural integrity and orientation of your rooftop design, as well as slope and soil type with ground arrays. There are many influences that directly affect the final designs, which is why a Perihelion professional will guide clients to the most suitable option.
Under a federal law called the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA), utilities must allow homes that produce their own energy to connect to the energy grid; the companies must buy any excess power homes or businesses produce. Many states have gone past that to allow net metering, which is a solar incentive that allows you to send energy back to the grid and get credit for it on your utility bill. If the PV system uses net metering, the utility’s electricity meter runs backwards when power is exported from the PV system to the utility.
Convert DC power from batteries or arrays into AC power to serve local loads or for export to the utility grid. Grid-tied solar inverters are wired to a utility required disconnect and into your main electrical panel that sends electricity through your meter and into your home. If you produce more energy than you use this electricity can be sent back to the grid.
