For all financed projects, the finance partner must approve the final project details before we can complete the installation. The NTP (Notice to Proceed) is verified on the financial company's website by our Project Coordinators.
If there is an issue preventing the approval of finance, our Project Coordinators Team will communicate to the sales representative the necessary steps to proceed.
What is a Main Panel Updgrade (MPU)?
Equity Solar will coordinate with local electricians and Utilities when electrical upgrades are required. This is typically determined during the site survey.
Once we know that an MPU is needed, it will be reflected in the Scoop Card for the project.
In most cases, we will install the new Main Panel in the same location as the old panel, but in some cases, the utility may tell us the panel needs to be moved.
Some factors that may require an MPU are:
The customer's current electrical panel. Some older panels are out of code and must be replaced for any work to be done.
The size of the solar system plays a role. If the solar system's size is not proportionate to the available capacity in the panel, it might required us to upgrade to a newer or larger panel capable of handling the full electrical load from the solar system.
Other add-ons. If a customer installs an EV charger or other significant electrical components a main panel upgrade may be required.
