Solar Panel Installation

Step 1

Schedule a time for a Splintered Forest estimator (also an ISA Certified Arborist) to come walk your property. This will give them the chance to assess the overall health of your trees, point out any tree that might shows signs of disease/decay and make suggestions for services that will aide in making sure your panels are as effective as possible!

Step 2

After assessing your property, the Splintered Forest estimator will provide you a written estimate outlining all the proposed work to the email address provided. Prefer a physical copy? No problem, just be sure to request a mailed copy when scheduling your estimate.

Step 3

After receiving your estimate, our dedicated administrative team is available to help. Have questions? No problem, give us a call and we are happy to talk through the specifics of your project. Ready to accept your estimate? Great! There is a link provided in your estimate to electronically accept and a scheduler will be in contact with potential dates for your project.

Step 4

After the project is completed, invoicing can usually be handled one of two ways:

Option One: We can provide you an invoice detailing the completed work to your email. Splintered Forest accepts cash, check and all major credit cards (and no processing fees)!
Option Two: Some solar companies will allow Splintered Forest to bill them directly for the services and can bundle the tree services into your financing agreement. Have a solar company chosen already? Check with them to see if they offer this option. Haven’t decided who you will use? Contact Splintered Forest for a list of companies that we have established a financing agreement with.

BENEFITS OF GROWTH REGULATORS

Keeping your solar panels free of obstruction is the most important part of making sure your panels are as efficient as possible. Trees growing in their path can cause issues for you. Pruning can help with this issue, but in the years between pruning cycles there are options to assist with making sure the tree’s growth is slowed. Applying a growth regulator can slow the growth rate of the canopy and reduce sprout production keeping the form cleaner and out of the way of the solar panels for longer. Growth regulators are good for 2-3 years of control and can help save money in the long run.  To learn more about tree growth regulators to slow tree growth over solar panels click here.
