Step 1: Solar Consultation

It all starts with understanding your family’s electricity requirements. A qualified consultant from Arizona Solar Wave will arrange a visit to sit down with you and your family, delving into your desires for solar and its potential benefits for you.

Our comprehensive approach covers every facet of your new solar power system, including solar technology, its integration with the utility, incentives, financing options, and other project-related needs. Your sales representative is not only deeply knowledgeable but also dedicated to ensuring that you make a well-informed decision about solar. This crucial step ensures that your solar system aligns with your needs and facilitates a smooth and effortless installation process for you!

Step 2: Design & Permitting

Your project initiates on day 1 with a call from your dedicated project manager to assess and schedule your site survey. This project manager remains your point of contact from day 1 until your system is operational.

Our well-organized project process runs numerous tasks in parallel, minimizing the time from decision to installation on your roof.
The site survey marks the commencement of the detailed engineering phase for your project. Our meticulous site survey enables us to engineer a system tailored to the unique conditions of your home’s structure and electrical system.

Some companies may attempt to cut costs and expedite project timelines by skipping the site survey. We strongly urge all solar customers to pose this question when assessing solar contractors.

Our experienced engineering team sets us apart! While many solar projects are straightforward, some pose challenges, and our engineering team’s expertise becomes invaluable in such cases.

The final application is your permit application, submitted to your local construction authority. Obtaining this approval may take a few weeks. We don’t adopt a “file it and forget it” approach. We actively encourage construction officials to review timeliness standards and frequently intervene to overcome obstacles, ensuring swift project approvals.

Step 3: Construction

While we’ve highlighted the speed of progressing your project to this stage, here we take pride in asserting the opposite. We don’t squander time, yet we avoid rushing. As seasoned contractors, we invest the necessary time to ensure every connection is solid, every bolt is secure, and your system presents a neat and beautiful appearance on your roof.

We strategically schedule our work to align with your convenience. At the project’s outset, our crew lead takes the time to ensure you comprehend and approve the routing of all wires, seeking your approval before concluding the work on-site. Lastly, anticipate a follow-up call from our customer care team post-installation, providing an opportunity for you to express any concerns you may have.

Step 4: Utility Interconnection

After construction, we arrange for your local construction official to inspect the project. Once the project has passed inspection, several applications again need to be filed to gain approval to energize your system. These applications are routine. Nevertheless, your local construction office and utility can take time to review and approve. Again, the Arizona Solar Wave approach to routine applications is to get these approvals as fast as possible.

Step 5: System Operation

For as long as your system is operating, we’ll be here to make sure your system is producing what it should. Just like with your dedicated project manager, our customer care manager will ensure that you have easy access to help if you need anything.

Once your solar energy system is completed, our maintenance team makes sure everything is performing at the highest levels via online performance monitoring software. Performance monitoring is included as part of every solar installation, allowing you to monitor the efficiency and performance 24×7.
