-
Inti’s technician will visit your property to confirm the system design, verify measurements, and adjust for shade and obstructions on roof.
After the site evaluation, a solar design expert will make any number of adjustments to the customized plan to ensure everything looks and operates perfectly.
From site visit to design, it can take between 3 to 5 business days.
-
After design plans are finalized, they will be submitted by Inti to the local city government Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for permitting.
Permit approvals are subject to schedule of the governing AHJ Department. This can take anywhere from 2 to 5 weeks.
-
After permit approval, Inti will contact the property owner to schedule installation.
When Inti’s install team arrives, they will go over the design plans for final approval before they begin.
Once the Inti installation crew wraps up the job, they’ll finish by giving the property owner a full Solar 101 on the system.
Depending on the size of property and system, this phase takes 1 to 5 days.
-
There must be a final inspection by the city or county before the system can be connected to the grid.
Depending upon the time of install, the backlog of solar inspections, and the local government, the estimated time to complete this step is generally 1 to 4 weeks.
-
Two things that need to happen before the system can produce electricity.
First, Inti will submit the documents to the utility company to connect to the grid. This usually takes 1 to 2 weeks.
Second, the utility company has to install net metering to track how much energy is producing.
Inti will have little control over how long this step is going to take.

First, you will speak with a dealer from a local solar sales company to customize the right plan for your home. (We are happy to suggest sales companies if you need recommendations!)

Once this process has been completed, Inti will reach out to you to customize your design plan, install the system, connect it to the grid, and start your solar savings.
-
Installation timelines depend on the size of the system. Normally, an installation takes less than one day. A very large system can take up to two days.
-
Purchased systems can be relocated to your new home or you can include the system into your home value.
If you used a leasing company, you can pay off the system or you can transfer it to the new homeowner.
If you elect to pay off the system, you can include this price in your listing price. Contact Titan if you have any questions.
-
Yes, however, where the energy is stored is dependent upon whether you choose to install a solar storage battery with your system.
If your installation does include a storage battery, your excess energy will be sent there.
If your system does not include a battery, excess energy produced will be sent to the utility grid until sundown.

-
If the power goes out in your area, systems tied to the grid go out also.
It is not safe to send power out to the grid where workers are attempting to fix a power outage problem. Weather conditions like rain and snow can affect system production, however, solar panels will continue to produce energy on a cloudy or foggy day.
