Three-Step Solar Ownership Process
Core Energy Solar provides customers a three-step path toward solar panel ownership:
- Free Estimate — a Core Energy rep will evaluate the home's current energy consumption, sun exposure, utility costs, and ultimate solar power needs. Once this information has been calculated, Core Energy Solar will provide a free estimate on the prospective solar installation.
- System Design — Core Energy Solar will customize a solar panel array for the household's specific energy requirements.
- Energy Independence — once the design has been improved, Core Energy Solar will install the panels (most solar installations take about a week to complete). Following a system test, Core Energy will work with the utility provider to connect your solar panel system into the grid.
