The Three Most Common Questions From New Jersey Homeowners Interested in Solar Energy.

If you're considering solar for your home in New Jersey, you're likely wondering about timelines, costs, and how much of the process you'll need to handle yourself. At SLM Solar, we believe in making everything clear from the start.

Here are the top three questions we get from homeowners — and what you should know before moving forward with your solar project.

Common Question1: How Long Does the Solar Installation Process Take?

One of the biggest concerns homeowners have is, “How long will this take?” The answer depends on permitting and material timelines, which vary across townships in New Jersey.

At SLM Solar, we aim to be among the fastest — and most compliant — solar companies in the state. It typically takes about 45 days from the time of contract signing to the day we’re ready to install. That includes:

• Engineering and site plan development

• Township and utility permitting

• Material procurement and scheduling

  
  

Once everything is approved, our installation teams complete most jobs in a single day — often within just a few hours. We’ll coordinate with you directly to make sure the day of install is seamless.

Common Question 2: What Does the Proposal Actually Include?

When we send you a proposal, you’ll know exactly what you’re getting. Every SLM Solar proposal includes:

• All equipment (panels, inverters, racking, monitoring)

• Labor and installation

• All required permitting and inspections

  
  

If you have specific needs, like a new roof, an EV charger, or a battery backup system, just let us know during your consultation. Our team will ensure all items are clearly detailed in your proposal — no surprises, no hidden costs.

Common Question 3: Who Handles Permits and Paperwork?

Permits are one of the most confusing parts of going solar — and they vary by town, utility, and even HOAs in some cases.

The good news? SLM Solar handles all of it. As a licensed, insured, and bonded company, we manage:

• State and local township permits

• Utility interconnection applications

• HOA compliance forms and documentation

  
  

We’ve worked across dozens of municipalities throughout New Jersey and understand how to keep your project moving quickly and legally.
