Everything you need to know about our solar installation process
Getting started with the solar assessment process
We’ll review your electric bill to assess future savings from solar
Because energy savings is one of the primary benefits to solar roofing, we’re here to help you assess your potential savings. For the initial consultation, we’ll collect and review your electricity usage from recent months (ideally up to 12 months of data) to account for seasonal fluctuations.
- Your usage (monthly and annual)
- Your current price
- Your generation and supply
If you move forward with your solar installation, we’ll also collect your meter number, account number, and contact information so we can get approval from the utility company when your solar installation is ready.
Let’s find out if a solar roof will work for you
In addition to the physical aspects of your potential installation, our team will take the time to review your family’s goals for your home.
- Are you thinking of growing a family and are planning an addition in the near future?
- Do you have short-term or long-term plans to install central air conditioning or a pool pump?
- Will you be considering housing one or more electrical vehicles on the property?
Site evaluations for full analysis and final project plan
- Verification of available roof planes
- Determination of sun and shading due to trees, etc.
- Evaluation of any obstructions that may affect the installation or operation
- Validation of the roof orientation
- Inspection of the electrical system
- Assessing the condition of the attic, beams, and plywood

What happens during the solar roof installation?
The team at Golden Group Roofing will handle everything, including the dumpster rental and portapotty for the crew so you and your family will be undisturbed. Our solar crew and roofing crew will work seamlessly together during installation day. The electrician will need to perform work both inside and outside the home or building and will need access to the interior.
Once the installation is complete, our onsite manager will review the entire system with the property owner and ensure everything is final. Our crew will perform a meticulous clean up and remove all debris, dumpsters, portable toilet unit, and equipment.
We’ll schedule the proper inspections with the local municipality to finalize the permits on your behalf. At that point, Golden Group Roofing will request permission to operate the solar systems. This usually takes 2-4 weeks.
Once the system has been approved and turned on, it’s time to celebrate! Our team will be back onsite to review everything with you and answer any questions. You’ll have all the documentation for your records and ways to access customer support if you need help in the future. We’ll even show you how to monitor what’s happening in your system and get live updates on the panel production.
