Cost and timing

Permit value (not a price)

Their typical permit lists $35,630 (half list more, half less)

That is the figure written on the permit form, which can be far from what you pay. Across Los Angeles, half of all solar system permits list $20,000 to $250,000. What solar system jobs cost in Los Angeles.

Permit timeline

Across Los Angeles, a solar system permit stays open about about 8 months, from permit to final inspection

This is not how long the crew works at your home: most of it is waiting for the inspection. Ask them how many days the work takes. Waiting for the permit adds about 62 days. How long solar system jobs take.

What to ask before you hire

About A P Electrical

  • The state lists a case on this license. A case is not a finding. Read it on the state's license page and ask the contractor about it.
  • Ask what the warranty covers and for how long, in writing.

Worth asking any solar installer

  • Can you show me proof of liability insurance and your bond?
  • What size system, which panels and inverter, and what will it make in a year?
  • Is my roof good for 25 more years, and what if it needs work first?
  • Who handles the permit and the utility's approval to turn it on?
