For us, the build phase includes everything from project management to equipment installation to system turnover. We don’t stop until we’ve checked every box.
Our team of experienced site supervisors works with project managers and construction teams to make sure we’re meeting the schedule, staying on-budget, and completing the work as promised. Frequent check-ins and daily reports offer transparency and quick resolution of any issues that arise.
Like any energy system, cooperation and initial setup from the utility company is foundational to the installation process. We’ll coordinate with the utility company to work through easements and get the site ready for power output, which may include things like utility pole installation, electrical hookups, witness testing and final system power-up.
We are committed to the safety of everyone who steps on site. Our safety record is proof of this commitment, and we’re always looking for ways to ensure everyone goes home safely at the end of the day. We perform regular self-audits in addition to weekly 3rd party audits.
Our project manager will oversee our team throughout the process of installing the equipment and system chosen for your project. Whether its a roof or ground mount, tracker or ballasted system, we use quality equipment with valuable warranties and install it safely and properly.
Our diligence and planning in the design and development phases means we have established baselines for system expectations and energy outputs. Once the system is completed, we check to make sure those expectations are met. If something is off, we fix it.
Once the installation and system checks are completed, we go over our closeout punch list, including inspection certificates and permits, utility certification, final walkthroughs and system trainings, O&M manual turnover, and curve tracing for future maintenance and monitoring.
How does Montante Solar deliver during the build phase?
Our process includes weekly meetings with our team and yours, but we’ll tailor our communication schedule to meet your preference.
Our project managers work on-site to take a proactive approach to troubleshooting and performance monitoring.
We’re committed to transparency. We document our daily progress, which is then turned into detailed reports that can be sent to you each day.
Once the project is completed and turned over to you, Montante Solar is able to manage a system O&M contract, if desired.
Going solar can be simple with the right plan and the right team at the wheel. At Montante Solar, we’ve spent years honing our solar installation process. Our process revolves around your needs, budgets, and expectations while shedding light on the possibilities. We’ve simplified the solar experience down to three key steps: design, develop, build.
