After a comprehensive and competitive bidding process, LEAP selected four qualified local solar installers for the 2023 Solarize Piedmont campaign which will run from July 5, 2023, through August 31, 2023. Once you sign up and have the initial satellite assessment completed by LEAP, one of the two installers will be assigned to make a site visit to gather all the information necessary and provide you with a proposal. If you go to contract, the installer will obtain all necessary permits, order materials and equipment, and schedule your installation.

How we select our installers
