The Steps to Going Solar


How Our Process Works  Getting a solar electric system is faster and easier than you may think. Below are the general steps involved from conception, to commissioning and beyond.  

 
Site assessment  A sales consultant from Winona Renewable Energy LLC will perform a preliminary site survey using our comprehensive site assessment methodology. Upon review of the preliminary results, you have the
option of continuing with a free detailed on-site analysis and proposal. 

 
Design  Winona Renewable Energy LLC will then design a solar electric system that is tailored to your home's size,
layout, and your needs. We will also provide you with multiple system options to choose from.


Proposal  Your Winona Renewable Energy LLC sales consultant will provide you with a detailed, written proposal that addresses how your goals will be achieved, both in terms of electricity use and financing. Included in the proposal will 
be possible options of different solar module configurations and system sizes, applicable rebates and incentives,
financing options, net investment in solar, annual savings, and equipment specifications.


Approval  Once you have approved our proposal, Winona Renewable Energy LLC will prepare all the paperwork for 
utility and local permitting. We will submit all appropriate applications for rebates and incentives. Additionally, we will
provide you with financing options and applications, if appropriate. We will work with you to develop an installation
schedule that meets your time requirements.


Installation  Construction time varies depending on the size and complexity of the system, but typically, installations 
take the least amount of total project time.



Inspections   Winona Renewable Energy LLC will schedule all inspections with local building and electrical 
departments and provide results to you as they occur.


Customer care  Winona Renewable Energy LLC will deliver the customer care package, which includes drawings, warranties, product information, instructions, and maintenance requirements so you will be fully equipped to care for
your new solar electric system.


Follow-up  A solar electric system provides years of hassle-free service. Maintenance is minimal due to no moving 
parts. It is simply a matter of keeping the solar panels free of excess dirt and debris. The service department  at 
Winona Renewable Energy LLC is always on call to support the ongoing operation of your solar system. We are 
also happy to discuss maintenance programs with you to help keep your solar electric system in top working order 
and producing electricity at peak efficiency.


In a nutshell  We handle everything from start to finish, from conception, design, project planning, permits,
materials acquisition, fabrication, staging and construction, to final electrical inspection with utility "grid-tie"
paperwork for your service meter.
