The Process

Step 1 – Consultation

Call us. It all begins with us getting to know you and your goals for solar. There are no site visits until both of us are ready. At Northwind Solar, we believe you should have a basic understanding of solar, know what size system might work well for you, how much it may cost, and what kind of incentives are available to you. Even if you're just starting out, our team will be happy to walk you through the process in order to make the most informed decisions.

There are usually a lot of questions – we find a phone conversation works best at this point in our relationship. An informed customer is our best customer.

To get started, we need to understand how your home uses electricity, when you use electricity, and how much electricity you use. We'll ask for your most recent 12 months of energy usage history from your utility. What we're trying to know is the number of kilowatt-hours (kWh's) you purchase from your utility each month.

Using that data, we can generate some initial estimates for you to consider. If those initial estimates fall somewhere near your anticipated budget, our team can then move to the next step - the site visit.

We would be happy to review a recently written estimate from a competitor and offer a second opinion on your project.

Step 2 – The Site Visit

After you have an understanding of solar energy, its costs, energy generation, and how it will work on your home, an experienced Solar Design Consultant will schedule a visit with you. We will look over your roof, verify your solar resource, and evaluate your electrical system. These are some of the first things you can expect when you invest in solar in Marshfield, WI!

A thorough site evaluation is critical to the successful design and installation of your solar electric system. The result is a customized, turnkey solar proposal for you and your home!

Step 3 – You Are Ready to Go Solar!

Once you've made a decision on the perfect system designed for you – one that meets your energy goals and your budget - we will enter into a purchase agreement with you. At this meeting, we will sign utility interconnection paperwork and apply for any incentives you may qualify for. At that time, we will also collect the first payment for your solar installation.

Now the wheels start turning. We order your equipment, submit the interconnection paperwork to your utility, and secure all the needed permits. You'll never have to deal with the stress of getting your system approved by the right people or worry that it might give you complications later on. Every system we install adheres to strict National Electric Code (NEC) requirements.

Step 4 – Management and Installation

Our team orchestrates the entire process, keeping an eye on everything - minimizing any hang-ups or project delays, meaning that you get your solar and your savings quickly. Our talented installation crew is the best in the business, and we put the right people on the right job. We monitor every aspect of your project to ensure it’s finished quickly, aesthetically, and electrically correct.

Step 5 – Utility Interconnection, Inspections and Commissioning

Today is the day you are powered by the sun! We schedule and represent you at the utility inspection and your municipality's inspection. We commission your system to ensure that it performs as we designed it. We will explain how your system works and when you need to call us if it does not.

There is really not that much for you to do as a solar system owner. That is the beauty of solar energy. You will never look at a sunny day the same way again!

Step 6 - Monitoring

Once your project is completed, our team keeps an eye on performance via online performance monitoring software. Should you opt to include online monitoring with your solar system, you can see what your system is doing for your home - any day and any time - from your computer or smartphone.
