If it has not already been completed, your site survey is coming up shortly! Please arrange to be at home for the site survey because we will need indoor access. The surveyor will document the attic's roof structure, your electrical panel, and the outside roof structure. These details will aid our designers in the final design of your project.

Our team has finalized your design and the structural review is complete. Your solar coordinator will send you the package within the next 3 business days. Once we have your approval for the final design, we will submit your package for permitting*. Please provide approval within 3 days after receiving the package. Our finance specialist will begin compiling your loan information, if applicable.

*If approval is not given within two weeks, the project will move forward to permitting automatically, and an invoice will be generated.

We're excited to let you know that our team is working on applying for and submitting your county and utility permit applications! During this process, several applications are needed to gain approval to install and operate your new solar system, including a building and electrical permit with your local county jurisdiction. This permitting process can take from 4-12 weeks. During the permit process, you may not receive communication updates from us unless we need additional information from you*.

*Sometimes signatures are required in advance to streamline your project.

**Please note you may see a projected commissioning date on the interconnection documents. This is not an estimated install date, it is simply a standard date required by the utility (6 months from application submission).

Right now, we are evaluating the installation schedule. Soon we should be able to reach out to coordinate a date range for your installation. We will be able to confirm an exact date closer to the installation, weather permitting. This step in the process can take up to one month if there are no unusual delays.

811 requests with the utility:

You can expect somebody from the utility to come and mark your gas and water lines. Ipsun Solar makes the request with the utility for you. We do ask you to be aware a person can come on your property.

We do ask you to mark and let our personnel know if you have water sprinklers or electrical wires buried where we'll work. Our electrical installer will install grounding rods on the day of the installation. Make sure you tell us if you have things buried in the ground we should be aware of.

At this point, we have reached out to you to confirm your tentative install date. Please let us know if you need to make any changes to the date or time. Additionally, you should have received an email letting you know what to expect on install day. If you have questions, please reach out to your project manager.

Here's a brief overview of what to expect on install day:

- Crew arrival window is between 8 am - 10 am. Someone needs to be at home, inside access for the crew will be required, and you should prepare for a full day of noise. Battery installations require periods of power outages.

- It is possible that we'll need to park in your driveway to unload the equipment. If so, we'll let you know and you can move your car out to the street so that we don't block you in.

- It's also a good idea not to have any vehicles parked in an area where if someone were to drop something from the roof it would damage the car. The crew leader will let you know what the danger zone is.

- Please be aware that a solar installation is noisy. There will be crew members on your roof and in your attic, using power tools. Please plan accordingly.

- The electrician will start at the electrical panel inside the house. The roof crew will need access to the attic, for some projects, for about two hours later in the day.

- The equipment will include ladders that can reach your roof height, the solar panels, combiner box, wiring and necessary conduit, and other materials for your project.

- We will unload all equipment and properly install the ladders for safety. If it is a multi-day installation, we will consult with you about the best placement of the equipment so that it stays dry and secure.

- The crew will wear protective foot covers so they don't track in dirt and germs.

- When the installation is done, our crew protocol includes a thorough clean-up of all areas inside and out.

- Your system will be operational, but not activated, at the end of the installation. Next comes inspection!

Now that your project is complete, you are eligible for three separate (totally unrelated) solar incentives: Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs), the 30% federal tax credit, and net metering through your utility company. Learn more about these important solar incentives below and click through for more information on our blog.

SRECs: These are your Solar Renewable Energy Credits, created as a result of your state's Renewable Standard Portfolio. You can sell these credits on the energy market, like commodities, through a broker. We are happy to assist you with registration with our vetted brokers. We offer registration assistance with Sol Systems. You can register yourself with the information provided in your documents section, or reach out to us at srecs@ipsunsolar.com and we can assist you! Want more information on SRECs? Visit our blog: What the heck is an SREC?

30% Federal Tax Credit: This is the Federal Investment Tax Credit recently extended by the Inflation Reduction Act. To claim your credit, all you'll need is your invoice and the IRS Form 5695. You'll find your invoice in the documents section and a link to the form in our blog post about the tax credit. Visit our blog here for more information about how to claim your tax credit: How Can I Claim the New 30% Solar Tax Credit?

Net metering: This is the dollar-for-dollar credit (totally separate from SRECs) that your utility company will give you on your bill if you produce more solar energy than you use in any given month. Your utility company has installed a net meter on your home, so you are already set up for net metering. No action is required on your part. You'll see the credits reflected on your utility bill when you earn them. To learn more, read our blog here-- the basics apply to any utility even though this post is focused on Dominon Energy: Net Metering in Virginia
