American Solar Direct
Overview
A leader in providing clean, renewable energy options for residential use, American Solar Direct offers full-service solar energy system plans to homeowners across California. Based in Santa Monica, the company possesses several offices throughout the region and continues to grow quickly. With affordable purchase and leasing options, American Solar Direct encourages high usage homeowners to convert to a solar alternative for their electricity in order to save money and benefit from sustainable energy practices. Driven to meet customers’ needs, the company presents free initial consultations as well as an array of pricing options.
After clients sign a lease with American Solar Direct, the company assigns a trained project coordinator to monitor the installation. All work is conducted by solar energy system professionals and facilitated by licensed electricians. A rooftop and electrical inspection is performed, and the design team uses the results to create a plan. Before installation, the company applies for any applicable rebates, obtains the required permits from the city, and notifies any homeowners association for approval. After the installation, American Solar Direct connects the home system to the utility grid. When all paperwork with the city is completed and approved, the company sends a trained associate to turn on the system and teach customers how to monitor system production. The system then collects and generates its own electricity during the day, and the meter calculates the amount of excess energy that is fed back into the grid. The energy given back to the grid results in earned credit for the homeowner.
