What happens when you book an appointment at BJC Electrical and Solar?

Booking an appointment with us is the first step towards harnessing the power of solar energy for your home or business. Here's a guide on what typically happens when you schedule a meeting.

1. Initial Contact and Information Gathering:

Upon reaching out to one of our solar specialists, you'll likely engage in an initial conversation to discuss your interest in solar energy. The specialist will gather essential information, including your location, energy consumption patterns, existing energy infrastructure, and any specific goals or concerns you may have.

2. Scheduling the Appointment:

Once the preliminary details are collected, our solar specialist will typically provide a proposal outlining a potential system design, costs, financing options, and projected savings. If you are happy with the estimated cost (which will be subject to the on-site survey) our solar specialist will work with you to schedule a convenient time for an in-person appointment. During this phase, you may also receive information about any documents or data you should have on hand for a more comprehensive assessment.

3. Pre-Appointment Preparation:

Before the appointment, the solar specialist may request access to your recent utility bills, information about your current electrical system, and, if possible, details about your roof's structure and orientation. This helps them prepare a more accurate analysis and recommendations for your solar solution.

4. On-site Assessment:

During the appointment, the solar specialist will conduct an on-site assessment. This involves evaluating your property, roof condition, and the available space for solar panels. They will also consider factors like shading, roof orientation, and local weather conditions to optimize the solar panel layout.

5. Energy Audit:

During the appointment, the solar specialist will perform an energy audit to understand your current energy consumption and identify areas where solar energy can be integrated. This involves analysing your electricity usage patterns and determining the potential size and capacity of a solar energy system that suits your needs.

6. System Design Presentation:

Based on the information gathered and the results of the energy audit, the solar specialist will refine your customized solar system design. This includes details such as the number and type of solar panels, inverters, and any additional components like a battery storage system if applicable. They will explain how the system will be integrated into your existing electrical setup.

7. Financial Analysis:

The solar specialist will provide a comprehensive financial analysis, detailing the costs of the solar installation, available incentives, potential savings on energy bills, and the return on investment over time. This information will help you make an informed decision about the economic viability of the solar solution.

8. Answering Questions and Addressing Concerns:

Throughout the appointment, the solar specialist will encourage you to ask questions and voice any concerns you may have. They will provide clear and detailed explanations to ensure you have a thorough understanding of the proposed solar solution.

9. Next Steps and Post-Appointment Support:

They will guide you through the next steps, which may involve signing contracts, obtaining necessary permits, and scheduling the installation. Even after the appointment, our solar specialist remains a resource for you. They can assist with any additional questions, facilitate the financing process, and provide updates on the progress of your solar installation.
