Our Solar Installation Process
We make going solar straightforward:
- Site Assessment: We evaluate your roof condition, orientation, shading, and structural capacity, along with your current electricity usage and utility rate structure.
- System Design: We size your system to your actual energy needs and design panel placement for maximum production.
- Permitting: We handle all local building and electrical permits, as well as your utility's interconnection application.
- Installation: Our team installs the racking system, panels, inverter(s), and all electrical connections — typically in 1–2 days.
- Inspection & Activation: After passing the local electrical inspection, we coordinate with your utility to get the system activated and net metering established.
Residential Solar Installation
For homeowners, solar delivers long-term electricity cost savings, protection from rising utility rates, and a meaningful increase in home value. Most Atlanta-area homeowners who install solar see a return on investment within 7–10 years — with systems that last 25+ years.
We install all major solar panel brands and pair them with high-efficiency string inverters or microinverters depending on your roof layout and shading conditions. We also offer solar battery storage integration so you can store excess power for use at night or during outages.
Commercial Solar Installation
Commercial solar systems offer even faster payback periods due to higher daytime electricity consumption and the ability to leverage commercial depreciation incentives alongside the federal ITC. We design and install systems for offices, retail buildings, warehouses, and multi-tenant properties.
Solar + Panel Upgrades
Many homes need a main electrical panel upgrade before or alongside a solar installation. We handle both, ensuring your system has the service capacity to support solar generation, battery storage, and any future EV charging needs in a single coordinated project.
Federal Tax Credit & Georgia Incentives
The federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) currently allows you to deduct 30% of your total solar installation cost from your federal taxes. Georgia property owners also benefit from a state property tax exemption on the added home value from solar systems. We'll walk you through all applicable incentives during your estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Installation
How does the solar installation process work?
The process starts with a site assessment and energy audit to determine the right system size. We then design your system, handle all permits and utility interconnection paperwork, install the panels and inverter, and coordinate the final utility inspection. Most residential installations are complete within 1–2 days on-site.
What are the benefits of installing solar panels?
Solar panels significantly reduce or eliminate your monthly electricity bill, protect you from rising utility rates, increase your property value, and reduce your carbon footprint. Georgia homeowners also qualify for the federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC), currently 30% of the total system cost.
Is my property suitable for solar installation?
Most Atlanta-area properties are strong solar candidates. Key factors include roof orientation (south-facing is ideal), roof age and condition, shading from trees or nearby structures, and your average monthly electricity usage. We assess all of these during your free estimate at no cost or obligation.
How long does a typical solar installation take?
Most residential solar installations take 1–2 days on-site. The full timeline from signed contract to system activation — including permitting and utility interconnection — typically ranges from 4 to 10 weeks depending on local jurisdiction and utility processing times.
Do you offer solar battery storage?
Yes. We install solar battery storage systems that let you store excess solar energy for use at night or during grid outages. Battery storage is especially valuable with time-of-use utility rates or in areas prone to power outages.
