Simply Follow the Steps Below to Receive a Customized Analysis of Your Home
Step 1:
Ensure you initially qualify by reviewing the Who Qualifies page
Step 2:
Submit this form
Step 3:
OPTIONAL: Set up a 30 minute Google Meet or Zoom meeting to discuss your project face-to-face.
Regardless, Corey or Diana will reach out to you if they have any questions, or if the information you provided is incomplete. They can text, call, email, Zoom, or Google Meet - whichever you prefer.
Step 4:
Within a day or two, we will perform our analysis and let you know if your home qualifies for solar. If going solar does NOT save you money, we'll send you an email and let you know why.
If going solar saves you money, you will receive our customized analysis of your home. This will include:
- 1. An overhead picture of your home, showing you what the solar panels will look like on your roof
- 2. The size of the system you need
- 3. The offset % (how much of your energy usage will be replaced with solar energy)
- 4. The precise amount of SAVINGS you'll experience if you have solar installed
- 5. The trees (if any) that need to be removed
- 6. How many sun hours your home receives

Step 5:
Review the information you receive, and contact us with any questions you have
Step 6:
Click the "See if I Qualify" button on the Proposal, complete the form, and submit it
Step 7:
Click the "View & Sign Contract" button on the proposal
Step 8:
Once we receive the signed agreement, we will contact you to set up the date for the Site Survey. On this day, we will:
- 1. Fly a drone over your home to take pictures of your roof
- 2. Examine your electrial panel to see if you require an upgrade
- 3. View the access to your attic, or discuss plans to create one
Step 9:
We discuss the results of the Site Survey with you and confirm the condition of your roof by analyzing pictures taken by our drone. As long as your roof is in satisfactory condition, we will proceed with the solar installation without replacing your roof. If your roof needs replaced, we can add the cost of replacing your roof into the 25-year solar agreement so that you still will not owe any money upfront, but you will have to sign an updated agreement. The same premise is true with your panel box and attic access.
Step 10:
We will acquire all the permits you'll need from your city, county, and HOA (if applicable). If you have any questions or would like updates on your project, you may call Brilliant Solar's customer service department at 800-805-1889 or Send an email
Step 11:
