Every step of your Westlake solar installation
From the first visit to the day your system turns on, here is what actually happens.
1. On-site assessment
We visit your Westlake property, walk the roof, check the electrical panel, and review 12 months of your FirstEnergy Ohio bills. No charge, no obligation.
2. Engineered system design
Our engineers size the array to your actual usage and design panel placement around shading, roof orientation, and structural load. You see the plan before anything is ordered.
3. Permits and interconnection
We file the local building permit with Cuyahoga County and the interconnection application with FirstEnergy Ohio. You sign once; we handle the back-and-forth.
4. Installation
Most Westlake installs are completed in one day on the roof. Larger or complex systems may take additional time. Our crew is in and out the same week we start.
5. Inspection and activation
Cuyahoga County or city inspectors sign off, FirstEnergy Ohio swaps or reprograms your meter, and the system turns on. We are there for both steps.
6. Monitoring setup
Before we leave, your phone is connected to the production app. You can see daily kilowatt-hours, panel-level performance, and any alerts the moment they appear.
