Getting started

Adding solar panels to your home is simple and more affordable than it ever has been before. To go solar now follow these three steps:

1. Request a free, no obligation, in-home solar assessment .
   A SolarWorld factory-trained installer will assess your home's energy requirements and gather installation details.
    
2. Receive a detailed proposal from SolarWorld and one of our Authorized Installers.
   SolarWorld will then prepare a customized proposal for your home
   that outlines the installed cost, available incentives and expected savings.
    
3. Installation
   A Sunkits® solar electric system can typically be installed within two to three weeks from your order. Please note, however, that the time required for permits and incentive paperwork approvals vary by city and state.

The installation process itself is simple:

• You place the order with one of our factory-trained installers. 
• The installer works with you to schedule the installation date. 
• SolarWorld ships the complete kit to your home or local installer's warehouse. 
• The installer physically installs the solar panels on your roof.
  • Supports are attached to the roof at the rafters.
  • Rails are attached to the supports.
  • Modules are attached to the rails.
  • The modules are connected to each other and the cables are brought down to the inverter.
  • The inverter is mounted in a shaded area on an exterior wall or in the garage or service closet.
  • The DC cables are connected to the inverter and the inverter is connected to the electrical panel.
  • Appropriate labels are added to the electrical panel.
• Any required inspections are performed by the permit office, incentive officials and/or utility representatives.
• The system is connected to the grid.
• You pay the contractor and submit the provided incentive paperwork.
