Design
The ESP design team's task is to transform the sold contract and Scope of Work into a permit-ready plan set. Once the design process is finished, the homeowner will be provided with an email containing the solar and battery (if applicable) layout and asked to confirm the layout. The ESP design team aims to maximize the production of the system, so it is possible the layout of the panels might slightly differ from what was shown at the point of sale.
Timelines: The average design and redraw turnaround time is 3 business days
Permitting
Once the design is complete, the plans will be submitted to the local jurisdiction for approval and permits. The processing time for permits varies depending on the Scope of Work and the jurisdiction they are submitted to. On average, most permits are expected to be ready within 2-3 weeks.
If a layout does not meet the homeowner's expectations, please note the plans will need to go back to our design team for the redraw and resubmit to the local building department for plan review.
