The rising cost of electricity, coupled with the environmental benefits, make solar energy an increasingly attractive option for homeowners. If you’re located in the Fresno or Palm Desert areas in California, you may be considering taking the solar plunge. In this blog post, we aim to demystify the entire process of getting a solar system installed on your home by Supreme Solar & Electric—the trusted Fresno Solar Company and Palm Desert’s go-to solar panel installer.

Your journey towards a greener, more sustainable future starts with a site survey. This initial assessment serves to take precise roof measurements and capture relevant photos of your property. Understanding the dimensions and condition of your roof allows us to plan how many panels can fit, where they should be placed, and how they can be angled for optimal sunlight exposure.

Our experienced solar service call professionals carry out this evaluation to ensure accuracy. The roof’s structural integrity is also assessed at this point to avoid any surprises during the installation process.

After gathering all the necessary data, our dedicated team works diligently to create comprehensive solar plans tailored to your specific needs. These plans act as a blueprint for the entire project, showing the layout and arrangement of solar panels, the associated wiring schematics, and any additional components like inverters or batteries.

Once the solar plans are finalized, we submit them to the city or county where your home is located. This is a crucial step in ensuring that your solar installation meets local building codes and regulations. In Fresno, as well as Palm Desert, the plans are typically submitted to the building department to acquire the necessary permits.

After the plans have been scrutinized and approved by your local building department, we receive a permit that allows us to proceed with the actual installation. Rest assured, as a responsible solar panel company, we handle all the paperwork and permit acquisition on your behalf.

With an approved permit in hand, the most exciting phase begins—the actual installation of your solar panels! Supreme Solar & Electric takes pride in being a swift yet meticulous solar panel installer. Installation usually takes between 1 to 3 days, depending on the scope of work and the specific challenges posed by your property.

During the installation process, our team ensures that everything is done according to the approved solar plans. Every component is double-checked, and safety precautions are strictly followed to provide you with a system that not only performs well but also stands the test of time.

Once the installation is complete, the next step involves scheduling an inspection with your local building department. This inspection confirms that the system has been installed according to the approved plans and meets all safety and regulatory requirements.

After passing the final inspection, we then submit an application to connect your new solar system to the utility grid. This process varies depending on your utility provider, but once approved, your solar system can officially be turned on.

Once your system is live, you can start generating your own electricity, reducing or even eliminating your electricity bills, and contributing to a more sustainable future.

Opting for solar energy is an excellent decision for both your pocketbook and the planet. And when you choose Supreme Solar & Electric, you’re opting for a solar panel company that is committed to making the entire process as smooth and hassle-free as possible.

From your initial solar service call to turning on your newly installed system, we are your partners every step of the way. If you’re ready to take the leap into solar energy, reach out to us today. Let’s illuminate your future, sustainably.
