Discover the process designed to bring renewable power to businesses.
Transitioning to solar energy not only reduces operational costs but also positions businesses as environmentally responsible entities. The installation of commercial solar systems involves a well-structured process that ensures efficiency and optimal results. Here's a comprehensive guide to the steps involved.
The journey commences as clients express their interest by registering through the buySolar website or responding to Facebook ads. This initial interaction signifies the start of the solar journey.
A dedicated customer service representative engages with the client to gather vital information. This interaction sets the foundation for a tailored solar solution.
The gathered client information is then transferred to the sales team. The sales team establishes direct contact with the client to gain deeper insights into their specific requirements and energy needs.
With the essential data, the sales team requests quotations from selected suppliers. The received quotations are meticulously curated by the sales team and presented to the client.
The client evaluates the proposals and selects the supplier that aligns best with their energy goals and financial considerations.
The chosen supplier and the client collaborate in a site visit to better understand the installation requirements and assess the location's solar potential.
After the site visit, the supplier furnishes the client with a comprehensive final proposal and a site assessment report. Should the client be ready to proceed, the sales team will collect the required documents for NEM Nova and MIDA application (optional depending on customer). The initial payment is secured at this stage.
The sales team, having obtained NEM Nova approval and the acknowledgement letter from MIDA, partners with the supplier to establish a suitable installation date that minimises disruption to business operations.
On the scheduled installation date, the solar system is seamlessly integrated. Simultaneously, the final payment is collected from the client, marking the culmination of the installation process.
If you opt to apply for MIDA, you'll receive your MIDA approval approximately 2-4 months post-installation, allowing you to start claiming GITA and further enhancing the financial benefits of your solar investment.
