Turn your roof or available land into a source of electricity. Start with the site and the way you use power.
01
Your roof, shade and electricity use
Vital Energy evaluates roof orientation, shading and local conditions alongside historical energy use. Share future changes such as a heat pump or electric vehicle so the design can account for them.
02
Understand the proposed system
Review panel placement, equipment models, inverter design and expected production. Ask which assumptions affect the estimate, including shading and seasonal changes. A planner layout is a starting point for assessment, not an engineered installation plan.
03
Solar and backup are different decisions
Grid-connected solar does not automatically keep a home powered through an outage. Discuss batteries, backup controls and the circuits you want to support if resilience is part of your goal.
04
A clear path to installation
The project needs site review, a scoped proposal, permitting, installation and utility approval where required. Ask who manages each step and how you will receive progress updates.
05
Compare the total cost
Read the full installation scope and any financing terms. Check current utility tariffs and incentives; older tax-credit assumptions may no longer apply. The proposal should distinguish system cost, financing and estimated bill savings.
06
Know your system after handoff
Keep the equipment list, warranties and commissioning records. Learn how to read production and alerts and how to contact the service team if something changes.
