FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When we meet with a new customer, SunBlue Energy walks you through the entire process—from initial evaluation to final installation to closing out the permit. We understand the level of care, coordination, and safety required to complete a solar project efficiently and correctly. The first step is reviewing a recent utility bill so we can analyze your home’s annual energy usage. This allows us to design a system that is properly sized to meet your needs—without over- or under-building. From there, we evaluate your roof or property, discuss equipment options, and review layout and production expectations. Once a design is finalized, SunBlue handles all permitting, utility coordination, inspections, and scheduling, keeping you informed at every step. Our goal is to make the process as straightforward and transparent as possible, so you know exactly what to expect.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our team never stops learning, both through experience and formal training, where we pursue the highest industry certifications, through the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) and other leading organizations.
