Homeowner / DIY
Installing your own solar? Read this first.
You probably don't need the full Solar Design Lab platform. It's built for installers and engineers running multiple projects a month. For a single homeowner job, that's overkill.
But you might need a stamped plan set. Most AHJs require one before they'll issue a permit. We can do that.
The DIY path
- 1. Send us the basics. Address, satellite photo of the roof, the equipment list (panels, inverter, mounting), and your AHJ.
- 2. We design and stamp. One of our PEs does the layout, electrical, and AHJ-specific labels. You get a stamped PDF, the same plan set we'd produce for an installer.
- 3. You file the permit. We don't pull permits. That's between you and your AHJ.

Note: residential DIY plans are stamped at standard rates, not the platform-discount rate. The discount only applies to plans designed in our tool.
