How Solar Panel Installation Works

RxSun designs and installs residential solar panel systems for homeowners across Illinois, including Chicagoland and Northern Illinois. Every solar system is customized around your roof, energy usage, utility provider, budget, and long-term goals.
From consultation and design to permitting, installation, inspections, utility coordination, and activation, you work with one experienced team throughout the entire process.

Solar Consultation

Every project begins with a conversation about your home, goals, and energy usage. During your consultation, RxSun reviews your utility bills, roof condition, roof orientation, shading, energy goals, financing preferences, and future energy needs.

Custom Solar System Design

Your solar proposal is tailored to your property and objectives. Recommendations may include system size, equipment selection, production estimates, estimated savings, financing options, and incentive opportunities.

Permits and Utility Coordination

RxSun manages the required paperwork and approvals, including permit applications, engineering documents, utility interconnection requests, inspection scheduling, and incentive-related documentation.

Professional Installation

Once approvals are complete, installation is scheduled. Most residential systems can be installed within a few days depending on project size and site conditions.

Inspection and Activation

After installation, inspections and utility approvals are completed before the system is activated. Once approved, your solar system begins generating electricity for your home.

Factors that may affect solar suitability include.

About Your Property

  • Roof condition
  • Limited roof space
  • Very low electricity usage
About Your Situation
