Glow Solar’s simple, no-cost, no-obligation, no-pressure discovery process focuses on providing all the information you need to determine if solar is right for you. We’re happy to assist even if you currently don’t know anything about solar or are just looking to learn about the possibility of solar on your home.
1) Contact Us Get things started by contacting Glow by phone, email, or our simple web-based form.
2) Information Session. The information session is a casual discussion with three objectives – to provide an overview of home solar and our company; to learn about your home, energy needs, solar goals, and budget; and to answer any initial questions you may have.
3) Customized Solar Proposal. Glow will use the information you provided to design a solar system tailored to your needs, priorities, and space. Glow will also prepare a report detailing the system design and cost – including the energy production, electricity cost savings, environmental offsets, financial incentives, and payback period you can expect.
4) Proposal Review. The purpose of the proposal review is to provide all the information you need to determine if solar is right for you. As such, Glow will discuss the proposal for your solar system with you in detail and happily answer all your questions. We’ll also provide you with a copy of the proposal and be available to answer any follow-up questions.
5) Home Assessment. If you are interested in continuing, Glow will visit your home to assess interior and exterior elements needed to finalize your system – including the roof, electrical system, general structure, and property layout.
If you decide to go solar with Glow, we will deliver your system smoothly, efficiently, and with a focus on quality, clear communication, and responsiveness throughout. Experienced NABCEP-certified Glow team members will manage every step of your project and lead the installation using only Tier 1 materials with industry-leading warranties to maximize production and ensure reliable, long-lasting performance.

Engineering, Permitting, and Procurement. In this important pre-installation phase, Glow will complete the electrical and structural engineering for your system, then take care of all required project paperwork – including building and electrical permits from your local authority, a solar application and interconnection agreement from your utility, and any needed incentive reservations. Glow will also order all needed materials for your project and make arrangements to have them delivered to your home just as installation begins.

AC Electrical, Commissioning, and Energization. A registered electrician qualified by and working with Glow will perform the AC electrical work to connect your system’s inverter safely to both the grid and your home’s main electrical panel via a disconnect switch. Glow will then thoroughly test the system, arrange a final inspection by the local authority, obtain permission to operate from your utility, and activate performance monitoring. As a final step, Glow will energize your system for regular operation and provide you with a system orientation.

Monitoring, Support, and Warranties. Your system will produce electricity for decades with little, if any, attention or maintenance. System components have long warranties – most are 25 years with some variation by item and manufacturer – and Glow provides a 10-year workmanship warranty on the installation. If interested, you can monitor the energy production of your system at any time via a cell phone or computer. Glow will also monitor your system at no charge for one year to make sure that it continues to operate properly and will always be happy to answer questions. If there is a problem, Glow can provide troubleshooting and service support – at no charge for items under warranty.
