What You Need to Do

1

Engage a solar vendor with experience installing solar equipment. During the initial visit, the solar installer will assess your property and identify the best location for installation. In addition, the solar vendor will measure the estimated production of your specific site. This assessment provided an estimate based on your input information. The assessment from the solar vendor will be more precise.
2

Be sure that the vendor explains the type of equipment that will be installed and if additional equipment or work is required (e.g. trenching, additional racking or wiring). Also be sure to have the vendor explain if they offer monitoring services to track the production of your panels after installation.

Qualifying systems must be installed by a Participating Contractor and designed to meet Green Grant Delaware program requirements for orientation, tilt and shading. For a more details about the program and how to apply, and to find a participating contractor, call 877-453-2327.
