What to Expect During Your Solar Roofing Installation
Powered by West Hartford Solar. Protected by RSR Residential.
Going solar isn’t just about panels—it’s about protecting your home from the top down. That’s why West Hartford Solar partners with RSR Residential to deliver a seamless, code-compliant solar installation for both residential homes and commercial buildings. Whether you’re upgrading a family home or managing a multi-unit property, we ensure your roof and solar system work together for long-term performance.
Site Assessment
A project manager evaluates your roof’s structure, sun exposure, and electrical panel. We’ll need access to your attic or utility space to confirm solar readiness. RSR Residential inspects the roof’s condition and material type—whether asphalt shingles, metal, or flat membrane—to determine if repairs or full replacement are needed before solar installation.
System Design and Engineering
Our engineering team creates your final solar layout and electrical drawings. You’ll review and approve the design before we move forward. For residential and commercial properties alike, we tailor the solar system to your roof type and slope, ensuring proper attachment, drainage, and warranty protection. If a new roof is needed, we finalize material selection and schedule installation.
Permitting and Interconnection
We handle all local permits and coordinate with your utility company to begin the interconnection process. Roofing work typically takes place during this stage if replacement is required. Our crew installs your new roof using solar-compatible materials and techniques—whether it’s a pitched residential roof or a flat commercial surface.
Solar Panel Installation
Our team installs and hard-wires your roof-mounted solar system, ensuring it integrates seamlessly with your new or existing roof. RSR Residential is on-site to oversee mounting hardware placement, apply sealants, and protect vulnerable areas—preserving your roof’s warranty and preventing leaks.
Inspection and Net Metering
We schedule a town inspection to verify safety and code compliance. Your utility company installs a net meter and grants permission to activate your system. Roofing and solar teams collaborate to ensure all penetrations are sealed and the roof remains compliant with building codes.
System Walkthrough and Activation
Once energized, your project manager walks you through your system and answers any final questions. We also confirm that your roof is clean, sealed, and ready to protect your property—whether it’s your home or your business—for years to come.
