1. Call Us
All we need to get started is some simple information about your home and your approximate electricity consumption. (This can be as easy as telling us how big your utility bill is.) Other helpful details include approximate orientation of your roof (e.g., Southwest), roof material, and major electrical loads in your home. If you have historic electrical usage you can provide this to us during the initial call, but this is not necessary in order to move forward.

Call our office at (925) 243-9473

2. Schedule an Appointment
From there we will schedule a time for a system designer to come to your home to perform a site evaluation and consultation. Site evaluations are free of charge and usually take 1 to 2 hours to perform. It is a good opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about how solar power works, the installation process, or any other technical or financial questions. During this visit the system designer will collect information needed to generate a proposal.

3. Review Proposal
Degryse Electric will deliver a proposal to you by email or in person. This proposal will include the initial system design, cost, and amount of the rebate and tax credit. Proposals can also include a simulation of your expected electrical usage and billing with your new solar power system. This will allow you to determine how much you will be saving on your bills, and what your bills will look like after the installation. More detailed financial analysis (such as cash flow or payback) is also available upon request.

4. Sign Contract
If you decide to do the project you will then sign a contract with Degryse Electric. From here we will take care of everything. This includes: design, permitting, construction, inspections, utility interconnection, and rebate application/collection.

5. Installation
Installation can commence once a contract has been signed, city permit obtained and materials have been procured. Residential installation times vary from 3 days to 4 weeks depending on system size and complexity.

6. Municipal and Utility Inspection
After installation is complete, your system will be inspected by the governing municipality and your utility company. Degryse Electric will schedule and attend all inspections, so you will not need to be in attendance. Following your utility inspection your system will be up and running. Degryse Electric will provide you with electrical and structural drawings of your new system along with all owner's manuals, warranties, and instructions on how to monitor your system's performance.
