Our Process

  • Step 1: Site Inspection

    Our team of experienced technicians and designers will visit your property to assess its suitability for a solar array. We will carefully measure the available land or roof space for the array, and our in-house roofing experts will verify that the roof is in good condition for a roof-mounted system if a roof mounted system is desired. Using the Sun-Eye device, we will accurately measure shade levels on your property. We will also review your electricity usage history to determine an average consumption and recommend the best solar system for your specific needs and goals

  • Step 2: Design

    Based on the information gathered during the site inspection, our experienced designers will create a custom solar system that is tailored to your property, budget, and energy needs. Commercial solar systems typically require up to two weeks for design, but we will work closely with you to ensure that the final design meets your requirements and expectations.

  • Step 3: Proposal and Agreement

    After completing the design, we will present it to you and explain every detail in a clear and concise manner. To move forward with the project, we will require a signed agreement and down payment. This will allow us to start the next phase of the installation process and bring your custom solar system to life.

  • Step 4: Interconnection to Grid

    To start the interconnection process, we will contact your electricity provider and request the necessary permits from local government. This will allow us to seamlessly connect your new solar system to the grid and ensure that it is fully compliant with all local regulations.

  • Step 5: Installation

    Our skilled installers will begin the installation process, which includes installing roof or field racking, panels, and AC and DC electrical components. We have years of experience in installing solar systems and will ensure that every aspect of the installation is done correctly and efficiently.

  • Step 6: Inspection

    Once the installation is complete, we will contact the county building inspectors and schedule an inspection. A Sunrise Solar agent will be present during the inspection to answer any questions and ensure that everything meets the necessary standards. If you are interested, you are welcome to attend the inspection, but it is not required. Once the inspections are passed, we will install a new meter, register the system with your power company, and complete any grant paperwork that is necessary. This will ensure that your solar system is fully operational and ready to start generating clean, renewable energy for your business.

  • Step 7: Saving Money

    This is the most rewarding part of the process: receiving your electric bill and seeing the savings that your new solar system has generated. Depending on your energy usage and the size of your system, you may even be able to eliminate your electric bill entirely and enjoy clean, renewable energy at no cost.

  • How will solar benefit your business?

    As a business owner every decision you make affects the future outcome of your bottom line. A solar system  should be part of your business plan. Solar does  take care of your electric bill, but there is more. Solar can reduce  overhead, improve cash flow, and  lower your tax liability. Let's look at each aspect of the  benefit to your business. Solar will reduce your overhead by lowering or even eliminating your electric bill. This alone provides such stability to your ever rising energy costs.


     


     The second part of this equation is that you will now have your electricity prices fixed and no longer be subject to the rising costs of electric. The improved cash flow comes from SREC's (solar renewable energy credits). Most states have mandated that power companies purchase renewable energy.


     


     This is done through solar systems that are installed privately. Your solar consultant will help you understand your local market. Per every 1000 kWh's you will receive  one REC. You will then be paid for every REC generated. lf  you produce excess power that you don't use, you will also get paid for that energy as well.  How much you get paid and when you get paid will vary from state to state.


     


    The  final component to benefiting your business is the 30% tax credit and the depreciation. By purchasing a solar system, you will receive a 30% lnvestment Tax Credit from the lRS. The 30% ITC is based on the total cost  of the solar system. The 30% ITC can be rolled for up to 20 years.  Most businesses use the 30% ITC in a shorter time frame.


     


    The second  component on the tax side is the bonus depreciation.  Through 2019 you will be able to  depreciate IOO% of the total asset in year one. This can be  very helpful when faced with a large tax burden. lf you don't need the bonus depreciation, then you can use a standard depreciation schedule.
