Steps to solar energy

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems – also known as solar panels, solar energy or solar power systems – convert sunlight into electricity. You can use this electricity to power your home, business or any other building. We recommend you follow the below steps before installing solar panels at your home.
Step 1: Find out if solar is right for you.
Before choosing solar for your home, below are a few questions to consider:
- Does my home have clear and unobstructed access to sunlight for most, or all, of the day, throughout the year?
- Do I have a large enough roof or area to accommodate the system I need?
- Does my community or homeowners association have any covenants in place that prohibit solar panels?
