How Your Florida Solar Installation Works

From free estimate to power-on, most installations take about 4–6 weeks — and our team handles every permit, form, and inspection along the way. Here's the whole process, step by step.

  1. Step 1 · Day 1

    Get your free solar estimate

    Enter your ZIP, answer a few quick questions about your home and electric bill, and verify your number. A local solar specialist follows up with your numbers — no pressure, no obligation.

  2. Step 2 · Week 1

    Custom system design

    Our design team maps your roof, models sun exposure and shading, and sizes a solar panel system to your actual usage. You review the full system design and pricing before you sign anything.

  3. Step 3 · Weeks 1–3

    Permits and approvals — handled for you

    We file the building permits, submit your HOA application, and handle the utility interconnection paperwork for your solar installation. You don't chase a single form.

  4. Step 4 · Weeks 3–5

    Installation day

    Our own licensed installation crews mount the racking, panels, and inverter — never subcontractors. Most home solar installations are finished in one to two days on the roof.

  5. Step 5 · Weeks 4–6

    Inspection and power on

    The county inspects the completed installation, your utility grants permission to operate, and we flip the switch. Your solar system starts producing power for your home from day one.

What affects your installation timeline?

Every solar installation moves at the pace of local approvals. The install itself is fast — it's the steps around it that vary:

  • County permit processing times vary — some approve in days, others take weeks
  • HOA review windows, where your community has one
  • Utility interconnection queues in your area
  • Roof complexity, panel count, and whether you add battery storage

Whatever your county and utility require, we manage it — you get updates at every step and a single local team to call.
