1. Home Evaluation
Customized for Your Energy Goals
After discussing your energy goals to design a system custom to your lifestyle, your property is pulled up in our state-of-the-art LIDAR software to identify the best location(s) for solar panels. Should the roof of your home or business be too shaded, we also install ground-mounted arrays.
Consultations last ~45 min
2. Design & Engineering
Built to Weather Out Our Storms
Once a suitable location is agreed upon, our team will get precise measurements of your roof via drone and structural measurements in your attic. All of our installations are signed off by a structural engineer and are rated to withstand 148 mph winds.
3. Permitting & HOA
We've Got the Paperwork
If you have an HOA, no worries! Our team will work with your neighborhood association and city to make sure all the necessary documents and permits are in order. Occasionally, an HOA may require a form to be submitted by the homeowner, but we'll walk you through it every step of the way!
Timeframe is dependent upon HOA & city
4. Installation & Inspections
Quality You Can Trust
After all of the necessary paperwork is in order, our installation and electrical crews will come on site to install your solar arrays and any accessories. Once they're done, third-party inspectors will come to grant final approval on the system's structural and electrical integrity.
Installation: ~1-3 days
Building/electrical inspections: ~1-2 weeks after installation
5. Power Independence
You Now Own Your Own Power
After the system passes inspection, we interconnect it with your utility company and your panels are activated. Now, as long as the sun is out, you're producing your own power and saving on your utility bills. Many customers go one step forward and refer their friends, taking advantage of our referral program.
Testimonial Spotlight
What a terrific experience! Our sales expert John Padden was knowledgeable and all round good guy. The installation team was superb and every one of the team was polite, professional and knew exactly what they were doing. Ongoing support has been top notch. I recommend Cape Fear Solar with my full support!

I HIGHLY recommend Cape Fear Solar Systems for the following reasons:
1) Competitive Pricing
2) Turn-key Solution
3) One-Stop Shopping (organic resources, no sub-contractor hassles)
4) Promises upheld
5) Professional, competent, and courteous
6) Locally-based maintenance and support for 25-year warranty
We began working with Matt Stallings our Project Developer on August 25th, 2023. We signed the contractual agreement on September 6th. Despite the short timeline, Matt guaranteed that he would meet the October 1st deadline to secure “Net Metering” with Duke Energy and have us operational by December 31st to secure the Federal Income Tax credit. He did not disappoint!
We went live on December 15th and have “net metering” with Duke Progress. More importantly, Cape Fear Solar was an absolute pleasure to work with. I cannot recall working with a more well-oiled machine. Their employees are top-notch!
We were thorough and deliberate about who we did business with for our solar project due to the long-term maintenance and support tail. We have no regrets on our decision and look forward to our 25-year relationship and partnership with Cape Fear Solar Systems!

Got the solar panels on my roof, waiting for the electrical hook up and the battery back up to be installed. Can’t remember the last time I dealt with people who know what they’re doing. Wonderful folks! Matt You are a doll! This is how companies should do their jobs!
