How Our Solar Panel Installation Process Works
Installing solar panels should feel straightforward, not overwhelming. Nabu Energy coordinates the essential steps involved in your residential or commercial solar project, keeping you informed from the initial assessment through system activation.
Step 1: Consultation and Energy Assessment
We begin by understanding your electricity consumption, energy goals, property layout, and plans for future upgrades such as battery storage or EV charging. This helps us identify the most appropriate options for your home or business.
Step 2: Custom Solar System Design
Our team develops a solar PV system design based on your property’s requirements, expected electricity demand, roof conditions, and equipment compatibility. We explain the proposed system, equipment selection, and pricing before proceeding.
Step 3: Permits and Utility Coordination
We coordinate the relevant local permit applications, required documentation, applicable HOA submissions, and utility interconnection paperwork. Requirements and timelines depend on your city, utility provider, and project specifications.
Step 4: Professional Installation
Our in-house installation team installs the solar panels, inverters, battery equipment, and associated electrical components according to the approved design and applicable codes.
Step 5: Inspection and Utility Interconnection
We coordinate the required inspections and utility approval process. Your system must receive the applicable permissions to operate before it can export electricity to the grid.
Step 6: Activation and Energy Monitoring
After the necessary approvals, we help complete system activation and monitoring setup where supported. You can review solar production, battery activity, and energy consumption through the compatible monitoring platform.
