A Feasibility Study or Customer Proposal is the first step in the solar installation project development lifecycle. During this study, a designer gathers the information necessary to assess the viability of solar using findings from multiple studies that identify critical design constraints and issues.The Feasibility Study, sometimes known as a Customer Proposal, helps anyone who is selling or buying solar to better understand the key details such as the location of arrays, bill of materials, expected production, and even financial indicators such as ROI and payback.

Contractors who don’t have the expertise or bandwidth to generate their own proposals or financial analysis trust GreenLancer’s network of solar specialty subcontractors to quickly and accurately deliver customer-ready proposals.

Before you install solar, the homeowner must get permission to operate and connect to the utility’s grid. This is true for all project types in all areas, including Residential, Commercial, and Utility scale projects. During this stage, a designer fills out the appropriate applications and manages the process through utility approval.Often the rules that govern the interconnection and application process can be very complicated, especially for larger systems. Beyond the interconnection application process itself, there may be rebate processing, design work, or other requirements that also need to be satisfied before permission is given.

There are over 3,300 utilities in the US, many with their own specific rules and processes that need to be navigated in order to get permission to push solar electrons back through the meter and into the grid. With affordable flat fees and no hourly charges, solar contractors have benefited by outsourcing all their utility interconnections through GreenLancer. Have confidence knowing GreenLancer’s partners know the rules and processes of every utility in the US and can manage the application process throughout.
