If your electric bills are climbing and your roof receives ample sun, solar panels could save you money. Homes with unshaded roofs and high daytime usage are ideal. Concerns about outages or a desire to reduce your carbon footprint also signal it’s time to consider solar integration for energy independence.

  • Installing rooftop solar panels? You have a solar installer putting panels on your roof, but you need a licensed electrician to interconnect the system to your home’s main electrical panel safely.
  • Old or undersized electrical panel: You’re concerned your current panel might not handle the extra load from a new solar array. (For example, NEC guidelines like the 120% rule limit how much solar can be tied into a panel to prevent overloads.)
  • Code compliance worries: You want to ensure your solar setup meets all National Electrical Code requirements – from proper wiring to NEC-mandated rapid shutdown devices for firefighter safety – so there are no hiccups during inspection.
  • Utility coordination needs: Navigating utility company requirements for net metering and approval can be daunting. You need an expert who will handle permits, meter upgrades, and scheduling the necessary inspections.
  • Peace of mind: Ultimately, you want the peace of mind that your solar investment is integrated correctly. That means no DIY guesswork – just a reliable, code-compliant connection that keeps your home and family safe.

Our solar panel integration service connects renewable solar energy to your home. We install panels and tie them into your grid or battery so you generate electricity and cut utility bills, often by up to 60%. Excess energy is stored or fed back, providing reliable, sustainable power.

  • Comprehensive Panel Evaluation: We perform an in-depth assessment of your existing electrical panel capacity and infrastructure. If your main service panel needs an upgrade or a sub-panel to support solar, we’ll let you know and provide a code-compliant solution (adhering to NEC limits to avoid overloading your system).
  • Code-Compliant Installation: All wiring and equipment is installed by our licensed electricians to meet or exceed local codes and the latest safety standards. This includes proper grounding, installing a dedicated solar back feed breaker or disconnect, and using high-quality materials for a long-lasting, safe connection.
  • NEC-Compliant Rapid Shutdown: Safety is paramount. We implement NEC-required rapid shutdown mechanisms and clearly labeled disconnects so that in an emergency, your solar system can be quickly de-energized to protect first respondersWh. Your system will be as safe as it is smart.
  • Utility Coordination & Inspection Support: Don’t worry about the paperwork or red tape. Our team coordinates with your utility company for net metering setup, handles permit applications, and schedules the necessary inspections. We’ll be on-site for the inspection to address any technical questions, helping you get approved and online without delays.
  • Inverter Integration & Testing: Whether your system uses micro inverters or a central smart inverter, we integrate it seamlessly and set up any monitoring systems. Before we call the job done, we conduct a full performance test and a final safety walkthrough with you, ensuring you understand your system and are 100% satisfied.
