Diagnostics & Engineering

• 1. Utility Bill Analysis

  • Action: You share a recent electricity bill with City Energy Solutions

  • Purpose: This establishes your baseline consumption profile (measured in kilowatt-hours), allowing engineers to calculate the precise offset required to wipe out your monthly electric costs.

​

• 2. Site Evaluation & System Design

  • Action: City Energy Solutions performs a comprehensive site assessment.

  • Purpose: Technicians analyze your roof’s structural integrity, pitch, orientation, and local shading patterns to draft an engineered, custom solar array blueprint optimized for maximum sunlight capture.

Financial Engineering

• 3. Proposal Acceptance & Incentive Acquisition

  • Action: You review and accept the system proposal, then initiate applications for financing and grants.

  • Purpose: Completing this step early ensures you capture federal, state, or municipal tax credits, rebates, and low-interest solar loans, keeping your out-of-pocket capital as low as possible.

Logistics & Execution

• 4. Regulatory Permitting & Approvals

  • Action: The project management team handles all backend paperwork.

  • Purpose: Engineers submit blueprints to your local municipality for building and electrical permits, while simultaneously securing interconnection approval from your local utility company.

​

• 5. Physical Installation

  • Action: The field deployment crew arrives on-site to build the system.

  • Purpose: Workers install the roof racking, mount the solar modules, wire the inverters, and integrate the system directly into your home's main electrical panel.

Quality Assurance & Activation

• 6. Compliance Inspection & Grid Activation

  • Action: Local municipal inspectors and the utility company conduct a final field electrical inspection.

  • Purpose: Experts verify the installation strictly complies with the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) and safety standards. Upon passing, the utility issues your official Permission to Operate (PTO), swaps out your standard meter for a net meter, and your system goes live.
