THE SOLAR SANDY PROCESS
Introduction To The Solar Sandy Process
Switching to solar should be simple, transparent, and built around your unique energy needs. That’s why at Solar Sandy, we begin with our exclusive Kilowatt Worksheet—a custom approach developed by Solar Sandy herself to ensure that your solar system fully replaces your utility bill now and in the future. Unlike other companies, we manage every step, from the first consultation to turning on your new system. With Solar Sandy’s proven process, you’re in control, owning your energy and securing lasting savings.
Discovery & Consultation
Start with a personal consultation where we discuss your energy goals and help you fill out our Kilowatt Worksheet. This worksheet is the foundation for designing a system that truly replaces your current utility bill.

Using your Kilowatt Worksheet, we prepare a personalized proposal, showing exactly how solar will work for your home and provide a clear path to energy independence.

Our Google Reviews
"We got our solar panels installed two years ago. They’ve performed as promised. Our solar loan payment is less than what we used to pay APS, and we even get credits during the milder months"
Lee Willis
"Solar Sandy laid out exactly what we needed and what it would cost, no surprises. Now, instead of paying huge summer bills, we have a steady monthly payment and most months don’t owe the power company a dime. The install was clean, professional, and done in less than a day.”
Tim Palmer
“My experience with Solar Sandy was great! She took the time to explain everything and even paid for our first two years of the solar loan. Best of all, our APS bill is almost nothing—even with Christmas lights on all night!”

HERE ARE SOME OF THE TOP QUESTIONS WE GET ABOUT SOLAR
Frequently Asked Questions
What if we decide to move in the near future?
Solar panels can increase your home’s value, and in many cases, you can transfer the solar agreement to the new homeowner, making your property more attractive to potential buyers. Alternatively, some financing options allow you to pay off the system before selling.
What if we have lots of shade on our roof from trees?
Shade can impact solar efficiency, but we conduct a shade analysis to see if solar is still a good fit for your home. Often, a few strategic adjustments, like trimming trees, can help maximize sunlight exposure.
What if I don’t have good credit?
Many solar financing programs offer flexible options, even if your credit score isn’t perfect. We’ll work with you to find the best solution that fits your financial situation.
How come solar is advertised as “FREE” all over the internet? Is this true?
Solar isn’t free, but some financing options allow for zero upfront costs, meaning you can start saving on energy without paying anything out of pocket initially. Be cautious of misleading ads; Solar Sandy provides transparent options tailored to your budget.
Do I have to pay anything out of pocket to get solar installed?
Most of our customers choose financing options that require no out-of-pocket expenses upfront. You start saving on energy with no initial financial burden.
How long does it take to get solar installed and turned on?
From consultation to activation, the process typically takes around 3 to 6 months, depending on permitting and utility company approvals. We’ll keep you informed every step of the way to ensure a smooth timeline.
What happens to the value of my home with solar?
Solar can increase your property value, as buyers appreciate the potential for lower utility costs. Studies show homes with solar often sell faster and at a premium compared to those without.
Will my solar system cover all of my electricity needs?
Yes, our Kilowatt Worksheet is designed to create a customized system that meets or exceeds your current usage. We tailor each system to replace your utility bill entirely, ensuring you have adequate coverage.
What happens to my solar system if I need roof repairs?
If you need roof work, your solar panels can be temporarily removed and reinstalled. It’s generally best to address any major roof repairs before installing solar to avoid added costs later.
Are there maintenance requirements for solar panels?
Solar systems are low-maintenance, but routine cleaning to remove dust or debris can help maximize efficiency. We provide tips to keep your system running smoothly, and most solar panels come with warranties for added peace of mind.
How will my solar panels generate power during monsoon season?
During monsoon season, storm clouds roll in and block the sun’s rays. However, that doesn’t stop solar panels from generating power, even from indirect sunlight. Plus, rain is extremely beneficial for your solar panels, keeping it clean!

You must stay within the average of your previous yearly and monthly kilowatt usage, are on the recommended solar rate plan, have received permission to operate by utility company, and have operational solar for one full month. Should your solar system become operational mid-month, your solar system may not have produced enough credits to cover your previous month's usage.
