Depending on the size of your system and the number of panels, installation can be completed in just 1 day or as long as 3-5 days for larger systems, assuming the weather cooperates.

Due to safety concerns, we cannot install when it is raining or during any sort of severe weather.

Wells Solar & Electrical Services provides a complete turn-key solution including design, permitting, HOA approval, installation, and coordinating with the local utility for final inspection.

Solar Permitting & Inspection Rules In Texas

However, it’s worth noting that since a solar installation is connected to the power grid, the system cannot be turned ‘on’ without inspection and approval from the local utility company.

Often, due to coordinating, scheduling and backlogs, this can be the longest part of the process of going solar on your home. And unfortunately, due to the electrical code, the company responsible for installing the system cannot connect your solar panels to the grid without permission from the utility.

For residential solar power systems in Central Texas, this process will take approximately two to three weeks to complete; however, this may occur sooner or later depending on the timeline of your utility company.
