01 · Process

Six weeks from
satellite scan to
first sunrise.

Most installers hand you off three times — to a financier, to a designer, to whoever's free that Tuesday. Meridian keeps the whole stack in-house. One project lead. One install crew. One number you can call at 7 p.m. on a Sunday.

  1. Step 01 Day 0–2

    We scan your roof from orbit.

    Drop your address; we pull LIDAR, irradiance, and shading from twelve months of imagery. You get a walk-through of your real roof — not a stock template — with a binding system size and price within 48 hours.

  2. Output
    Usable roof area847 ft²
    Shade penalty−4.7%
    Annual irradiance1,742 kWh/m²
    Recommended DC9.6 kW
    Year-1 production14,218 kWh
  3. Step 02 Week 1

    A real engineer walks the roof.

    Then we send a licensed structural engineer. They confirm rafters, count flashings, photograph every penetration, and lock the design. You sign once.

  4. Step 03 Week 2–4

    Permits and the utility, handled.

    Our permitting team has filed in 312 jurisdictions. We pull HOA, city, and interconnection in parallel — not in series. You don't sign anything that doesn't already say "approved."

  5. Step 04 Day 36–38

    Install in a single day. Sunrise on day two.

    A six-person Meridian crew arrives at 7 a.m. They lay protective decking, mount rails, set panels, run conduit, and clean up. By dusk your house is solar; by the next morning it's powering itself.

02 · The system

One stack. Built
to outlast
the mortgage.

Tier-1 panels, microinverters at every panel (no single point of failure), a battery rated for 6,000 cycles, and an app that texts your installer if a string drops 4% — all from companies that will still exist in 2051.

03 · The math

Stop guessing.
Move the slider.

Honest numbers, not a teaser. We assume a 4.1% utility-rate increase per year (the 20-year national average), 30% federal credit, and your roof's measured production.

06 · Plain answers

The questions
every homeowner
actually asks.

If yours isn't here, call (855) 673-2847. A real human, no IVR maze.

Will the panels void my roof warranty?

No. We use composition flashings (not lag bolts through shingles), and we work directly with the four largest roof manufacturers — GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO — so warranties stay intact. If your roof is older than 14 years we'll quote a replace-then-mount package; otherwise we'll tell you it's not necessary.

What happens if I sell the house?

A Meridian-installed system raises the appraised value by an average of $19,400 (Zillow, 2024 owned-system data). Loans transfer to the buyer if they qualify, or you settle at closing — your call. Leases are assignable in 24 hours.

What if the system breaks in 2031?

Our 25-year warranty is parts and labor — including the trip out. We've never bankrupted a successor company; we self-insure the warranty in a regulated reserve. The only call you make is to (855) 673-2847.

What's the catch with $0 down?

There isn't one — but there's a tradeoff. $0-down loans run 5.49–7.99% APR; the cheapest 25-year financing requires a small upfront fee. We show both numbers side-by-side and tell you which one we'd take in your shoes. No "dealer fees" hidden in the price.

Will it work in a snowstorm / hurricane / wildfire smoke?

Snow: panels shed at angles ≥ 18° within hours of clearing skies. Hurricane: our racking is rated to 175 mph (Miami-Dade NOA-certified). Smoke: production drops ~12% on heavy-AQI days; the system still runs. Battery covers the rest.

Why isn't this in my state yet?

We don't expand into a state until we've stood up our own permitting team and a full crew there. We'd rather be late and great than fast and forwarded to a stranger. Drop your zip below and we'll tell you honestly when we're coming.
