The Brightergy Process
Upgrading to clean solar energy is easier than ever before! We’re here to help you determine whether solar is right for your home, business, or organization. Brightergy helps you make the switch to solar in 6 easy steps:
- Site evaluation
Every client is unique, so we start with a site survey to determine roof slope, orientation, shading, panel location, and power distribution. We want to make sure your site is viable for solar before proceeding.
- Analysis & proposal
We will provide a detailed proposal that includes the suggested system size, energy savings, payback calculations, cash flow analysis, and environmental benefits. We will identify federal and local incentives, depreciation, and other benefits that improve your investment.
- System design
Once you decide to proceed, our engineering team will design your system. Designs typically include professional CAD drawings to illustrate the panel and inverter selections and system layout, an electrical one line diagram with calculations, and structural & wind analysis.
- Permit & incentive processing
We will submit and manage all the paperwork for federal and state incentives, utility interconnection, and local permitting requirements.
- Installation
Our licensed professionals will install your system and equipment and commission your system to make sure it is working properly.
- Service & ongoing support
We will routinely monitor your systems performance and alert you of any problems. We can also help you with marketing support to promote your solar installation.
