Solar Panel Installation
The Forme Solar panel installation process begins with the scheduling and preparation for your installation before your actual installation day.
Scheduling Your Installation
- Once your system design is finalized and we have the necessary approvals to move forward with your project, we will schedule your installation on the first available date.
- If interfering weather conditions on your installation date require us to reschedule, we will contact you to find another suitable time.
- On the day of installation, the Forme Solar installation typically arrives in the morning from 7 - 8am.
Before We Arrive
- Ensure you review your design and address any questions you may have with one of our Advisors before your installation date. Any changes to the plans or design may alter your installation timeline and your system price.
- If you are part of a Homeowner’s Association (HOA), ensure you have approval before we arrive to install. You are responsible for any fees your HOA may charge should you allow us to install without approval from your HOA.
- Inform us if any additional work has been done to your home since you ordered your system.
- Clear your driveway and the area around your electrical equipment before your installation date. This may include removing or trimming back trees or bushes to provide our crew with safe access when on site.
- Ensure no other contractors or workers will be on-site during your solar installation. We may not be able to do the installation if other workers are on site.
- Someone 18 years or older must be home on the first day of installation. Most installations are completed within one day, but larger or more complex systems can take two or more days.
- For safety reasons, we will need to shut off your power for several hours during your installation. As this will likely impact your internet connection, please make any necessary arrangements for remote working and distance learning before your installation date.
During Installation
- A Forme Solar installation team will arrive on your property and the Team Lead will greet you before the installation.
- Ladders will be placed in key areas so the crew can quickly access your roof and begin the installation process.
- Keep children and pets away from the installation area for their safety.
- Have your Wi-Fi network name and password available.
