Site Audit (Freedom responsibility)

An expert in photovoltaics (solar) takes a look at the location where the solar panels are going to be installed.

Engineers use site survey data and proposal inputs to create plans for the custom solar panel setup. These plans follow state, local, and company rules, mainly based on the National Electric Code (NEC) that most states are required to adhere to.

Freedom will give the city the Plans and Designs they made after checking the place during the audit. They'll also get permits to show everyone that the solar panels follow the rules.

Once all the planning, designing, and permissions are done, it's time to put in the solar system. Installing it is simple and won't disrupt the homeowners daily life much. Most of the work happens outside of the home, and it usually takes about a day or two to finish.

Once the solar panels are put in, they need to be checked. Depending on where you live and the rules, different types of checks might be needed. Usually, there's an electrical check, and sometimes a building check. These checks make sure the solar system follows the rules. The inspectors look at the plans, permits, and sometimes installation pictures and documents to make sure everything's right. Just a heads up: in some places, these checks might not be needed.

PTO (Permission to Operate) is a document that says the solar system can start working with the power company. During this step, the power company checks the plans, permits, inspection papers, and sometimes installation documents. After looking at everything, they'll either say "yes" and give PTO or explain why not.

After Freedom gets the "Permission to Operate" signal from the power company for the customer, they send a text message and an email to the customer. These messages explain how to turn on the solar system and give a link to download an app for monitoring the system.
