How Solar Panel Installation Promotes Energy Savings
Customers often choose having solar panels installed because of the potential for energy savings. Your dependence on utility companies and rate increases is often reduced when you generate your own electricity with solar panels.
Solar panels work by converting sunlight into electricity. In many cases, this offsets a portion of your power consumption, most times even the majority of it depending on your organization’s demands. Solar can dramatically reduce operating costs and expenses for businesses and commercial properties, especially those that have a high energy demand. Residential systems can be a source of similar benefits by lowering your home’s utility bills and keeping energy costs lower long-term.
Solar services also increase your property value. Buildings and commercial facilities with solar energy systems are usually more attractive to people in the current buyer’s market or even those looking to rent or lease a property. The lower operating costs and energy efficiency are attractive in this sense. Solar energy is a way for businesses to support renewable energy and meet ESG initiatives.

The Actual Solar Panel Installation Process
Installing solar panels is a professional process with careful structure and planning. Our solar panel installation process is designed to minimize disruptions to your operation while also being sure everything is personalized for your property’s energy requirements.
Below are the steps taken for solar energy system installation.
Site Evaluation and System Design
We will conduct a detailed site evaluation to assess things such as roof condition or available ground space, electrical infrastructure, the amount of sun exposure, and current energy usage and energy needs.
Engineering Design
After your site evaluation, we’ll determine the best way to make sure your solar panels stay structurally sound in all types of weather. Our plan will ensure your system is safe, durable, and code-compliant.
Our systems have the ability to be designed for a variety of roof type installations. These include rooftop solar for asphalt shingles, metal roof solar or tile roof, as well as flat rubber roof solar panel installation and ground-mounted solar arrays for those who have properties with available land.
Permitting and Utility Coordination
We will handle the permitting and utility interconnection paperwork for you after working with you to come up with an approved system design. Through this, we make sure that the system is code compliant for local buildings, lives up to electrical standards, and compatible with your utility requirements.
Solar Panel Installation
To install solar panels, we run the appropriate metal piping and inverters first and make sure that mounting hardware is securely fastened and installed. Then, we follow with the solar panel installation and all the electrical components.
Inspection and System Activation
After we complete the installation of solar panels, we confirm its safety and code compliance with a series of tests and inspections. Once everything is approved and up-and-running, we activate the system so that it can begin producing clean energy for your operation.
Most of our solar system installations take place over the course of a few days. The exact amount of time depends on the size of your system. Our solar panel experts at Redtail Solar will be sure to communicate accurate time estimates to you during your initial consultation and site evaluation.
