How to build a solar project:

Rooftop-CI
  1. 1
    We find an area suitable for solar

    We then lease the land from the landowner and provide continued lease payments to build solar panels on their land.

  2. 2
    We learn about the land

    We submit applications to the utility to learn about the ability to connect to the grid near this piece of land. In tandem, we evaluate aspects including the shade, soil, wildlife, and agricultural ambitions of the land to build in the least disruptive way possible.

  3. 3
    We talk to the community

    We host community meetings to get feedback from residents. We include the input from a variety of local, state, and federal agencies, as well as Indigenous communities. We apply for any necessary permits.

  4. 4
    We oversee construction of the project

    We partner with teams to complete the construction process ranging from initial site preparation, to installing racking and panels, to the final step of connecting the project to the grid.
