Learn About Our Process
Discover how we bring solar to life in 3 simple steps. Click each phase below to explore the full details of our process.
Phase 1: Consultation & Site Assessment
We start by learning about your energy needs and goals. Our team conducts a personalized site assessment—either virtually or on-site—to evaluate your roof, property layout, and power usage.
Phase 2: Custom System Design & Proposal
Our team goes beyond a simple quote—we engineer a solar or battery system tailored to your home, business, and lifestyle. Every design includes a detailed survey of your electrical loads, 3D modeling of your rooftop PV and solar room, and advanced solar irradiance and shading analysis to ensure accurate production estimates.
Phase 3: Installation, Activation & Ongoing Support
Once approved, we handle everything—from permits to wiring and activation. Most systems are installed in just a few days. We’ll walk you through operation and provide long-term support beyond installation.

Read Our Reviews
It was a great learning experience, and Rob looked over my shoulder the whole time. After some tweaks by Irie Solar, it has been working flawlessly for about five years now. Another system, the HUPS Unit, was made and installed by Irie Solar on a different part of the house (a separate cabana). I now have almost 80% solar on the property, both systems have been working great. I used to monitor it all the time, now don’t even pay attention to it and have no idea when WAPA is out. I feel it’s a great investment, it gives my renters and me peace of mind to know we have reliable power.""
They handled the technical installation aspects and allowed me to do the more labor intensive and simple parts of the install. This not only allowed me to understand my system but also saved me a lot of money. I love my system! Their support post install has been stellar. My batteries are at 880 cycles and are still in perfect health thanks to the way Rob set my system parameters. 10/10"
