SolarCity engineers will complete a structural analysis of your facility and produce a full set of structural design and electrical blueprints. Your design plans will also contain the specification sheets for all system components, such as the solar panels and inverters for your project. SolarCity will then submit your approved plans to your local city government to obtain the necessary building permits.

We have NABCEP-certified employees in supervisory positions, the highest certification available. We use only the highest quality solar panels and install with stainless steel hardware.
Once we complete construction, your project manager will schedule an inspection with your local building department to confirm that the installation conforms to local regulations and with the utility company for connection to the power grid.

Your dedicated project manager will plan out your installation and coordinate all team members, including the engineering design team, installation crew and external city and utility inspectors. He will work closely with you ensure minimal disruption to your business. Your project manager will keep you apprised of project status every step of the way.
