Solar energy is only able to be produced when the Sun is shining. That doesn’t mean that you won’t have any power when it’s a cloudy day, solar panel systems are connected to the existing municipal energy grid to ensure that rain or shine, you have the energy to power your home! Excess energy converted by your solar panels is sent to the municipal power grid when your energy consumption is low, which supplies you with the electricity you need when you use more than what the solar panels can produce in a day.

Installing solar panels requires thorough knowledge of solar technology, engineering and design. It’s best to avoid a DIY solar installation project and instead find a reputable company to handle the installation. It’s important to find a contractor who’s experienced and knowledgeable about roofing and solar installation.

That’s why Mammoth Roofing & Solar is the best company to choose for solar installation in San Antonio. With our vast knowledge of the industry, we’ll guide you through your home solar project with ease. Here’s a breakdown of the solar panel installation process:

1. Site Survey & Project Overview

First, we’ll use a piloted drone to fly around your property. This drone will capture hundreds of photos to help render design packet diagrams and ensure the accuracy of where equipment should be installed. We’ll also conduct a main electrical service review to determine if any upgrades to your current electrical system are needed in order to accommodate your new solar panel system.

Finally, we’ll complete an inspection of the roof and attic. On the roof, we’ll confirm that it’s structurally sound and able to hold the weight of solar paneling. In the attic, we’ll confirm rafter placement and plan a path for the conduit to follow.

2. Secure The Right Permits

While the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) use the information from the site survey to construct design plans, Mammoth Roofing & Solar will be helping you to receive the proper permits to have your solar panels installed. This step might sound a bit intimidating, but Mammoth Roofing & Solar is experienced at walking our customers through this part of the process with ease and will help you with all of the following:

• HOA Applications submitted
• Local electrical and/or building permits on your behalf
• Interconnection agreement with your local utility (in other words, permission from your utility to install solar and enroll in net metering)
• Utility disconnects are requested for installation day

3. Order The Materials

At this point, Mammoth will go ahead and order the solar materials needed for your project. We’ll also get you scheduled for installation with a tentative project date.

4. Get Your Solar Panels Installed

Finally, the day you’ve been waiting for arrives! One of Mammoth’s NABCEP certified installers will show up at your home along with a licensed electrician. They’ll work together to verify that your roof is prepared and ready for the solar panel installation.

Once they’re done checking the roof, the technician will install the wiring that’s needed to connect your solar system to the electrical system. After the wires are placed, your installer will place the racking, which is used to hold the solar panels in position. The solar panels are placed into the racks and the inverter is connected to the panels.

A common question homeowners ask is: How long will installing solar panels take? While it all depends on the scope of the project, residential solar panel installation usually takes about a day.

5. Get Your Solar System Approved

After your solar panel system is installed, you’ll need a municipal government representative to come out to assess and approve your residential solar panel system. Once you pass, they’ll issue you a permission to operate (PTO). This is essentially a safety precaution, ensuring that a second set of eyes has validated the wiring and electrical work that has been completed.

From there, the last step to going green is getting the power turned on! For this step, you’ll also need a representative from your local utility company to hook your system up to the electrical grid. This allows you to keep drawing electricity when needed as well as cycle back extra energy you are not using safely back into the grid. This process can even result in credits from your utility company via net metering programs.
