Solar Panel Installation - Residential Submittal Process and Checklist

Suburban roof age, snow design, and tree shading are likely proposal differentiators; require a site-specific production estimate.

Climate and property considerations

Snow, ice, freeze-thaw cycles, thunderstorms, wind, and hail require structural and roof-condition review.

Interconnection

ComEd's distributed-generation interconnection process applies to ComEd-served properties.

Dated official sources

These primary sources are tied to the local claims above. Re-check them before signing because rules and program terms change.

Installer service-area evidence

Installer-owned sources must explicitly name the city, its county, or a statewide service area. This is not a license, rating, warranty, or financing verification.
