The electrical side of going solar
Every solar system connects to your home at the electrical panel, and that is where many projects hit a snag. The size of the panel's bus limits how much solar can be connected, so an older or full panel may need upgrading or a different connection method. Your utility also has its own interconnection requirements. We sort out those details for Allen homeowners so the system passes inspection and receives permission to operate without delays.

Sometimes. It depends on your panel's bus rating and main breaker size. We check and explain the options.
