Usage and utility
The estimate should use recent annual consumption, the rate schedule on the bill and the serving utility's current interconnection rules.
Broken Arrow Solar
We review recent electricity usage, confirm the serving utility from the bill and service address, and design around the roof, electrical service and backup goals.
Before We Design
We start with the electric bill and service address. Those details identify the serving utility, rate schedule and interconnection process that belong in the proposal.
We then check roof condition, usable roof area, shade and electrical-service capacity. If you want battery backup, we identify the circuits and runtime goal before recommending equipment.
We also verify the permit authority for the property. The permit review and utility interconnection are separate approvals, and both must match the installation address. See the Oklahoma solar permit guide for the documents each reviewer may require.

The quote should show how the property, utility account and proposed equipment affect the scope and estimated result.
The estimate should use recent annual consumption, the rate schedule on the bill and the serving utility's current interconnection rules.
The layout should account for roof condition, shade, orientation, attachments and modeled production at the property.
The quote should identify panel work, service equipment, battery controls or other electrical work included in the price.
Ask who monitors the system, handles warranty issues and supports future roof work. Use the Oklahoma installer checklist before signing.
Equipment
Panels selected from current model specifications and test reports. Manufacturer warranty terms reviewed by model. Sized to your actual usage.
Learn about panels
Size backup around the circuits you want to support and the runtime you need. Solar alone does not power a home during a grid outage.
Learn about batteries
We check breaker space, service equipment and connection options before deciding whether panel work belongs in the solar scope.
Review panel upgradesHow It Works
We review recent usage, the rate schedule on the bill, roof condition, shade, electrical service and backup goals before recommending a system size.
You receive a proposed layout, equipment list, modeled production and any separate roofing or electrical scope before work begins.
We identify the permit authority and serving utility, prepare the required applications and provide HOA documentation when it applies.
We install the approved design and coordinate the inspections required for the property.
The system stays off until required inspections are complete and the serving utility authorizes parallel operation. We then confirm monitoring and normal operation.
Review the Proposal
Compare annual usage, modeled solar production, on-site use, exported energy and the remaining utility bill.
Separate the cash price, financing terms, batteries, roofing and electrical work instead of comparing only monthly payments.
Confirm who owns permit corrections, utility interconnection, inspection scheduling and permission to operate.
Identify the workmanship coverage, manufacturer warranty path, monitoring support and process for future roof work.
Start with your service address, current electric bill and the property where the system would be installed.
