How to Book an Installation:
Step 1: Review Our Availability Calendar (click to expand)
Our installations are usually booked 4-6 weeks in advance. You can check our calendar for upcoming availability.
Most installations take between 5–8 days, depending on the complexity of your project. Once we have finalized your system design, the exact timeframe for your project will be communicated to you.
Please note that your drop-off date is pending, but is NOT GUARANTEED until you have paid your deposit and received confirmation from us.
Step 2: Let Us Design Your System (click to expand)
Reach out to us using the chat bubble in the bottom right corner of the screen and we will start designing your system.
Once your system has been designed and purchased, we’ll hold the order at our installation shop for your arrival.
Step 3: Review Your Installation Quote (click to expand)
Once we’ve designed your system, our team will send you a full quote for your installation.
Review that quote and let us know if you have any questions or changes.
Step 4: 50% Deposit & Confirming Your Date (click to expand)
To officially secure your installation date, a 50% deposit of the total installation cost is required.
You will receive a Statement of Work, Contract, and a copy of your full quote with payment instructions via our online portal.
Once your installation deposit is paid, your installation date will be confirmed.
Step 5: Installation Layout Review (click to expand)
In your client portal, you’ll receive a digital mock-up of your installation through your client portal for review and approval.
Note that 1 hour of design work is included with your quote. If additional hours are required, we will communicate that with you and add it to your final invoice.
Step 6: Final Payment Due (click to expand)
Your final installation payment is due 3 weeks prior to installation. You will receive a reminder email and invoice to pay this.
Note that late payments may result in a loss of your installation date and require rebooking.

Your final payment is due 21 days before dropping your rig off at our installation shop.
Drop off your rig, and our expert installation team will get started on your new off-grid electrical system.
Step 8: Pick-Up & System Overview (click to expand)
