The first step is to find a solar installer.
Generally, a solar installer will request a copy of your electric bill and prepare a proposed layout and financial estimate based on your usage and your available roof space. Some parts of your roof may get more sun than others; you can change the layout to meet your needs. Once you have approved the design and signed a contract, the solar installer will handle the installation, checking roof structural support, pulling permits, obtaining equipment and scheduling the work. It may be a month or two until installation. Actual installation is usually completed in one or two days. After required electrical inspections, Eversource will install a net meter and give you approval to power up your system.
