BEFORE PANELS GO ON THE ROOF
Plan the installation around the roof and your electricity use
A new solar electric system starts with a site review. We look at recent electricity use, roof age and condition, usable roof space, shading, and the electrical equipment already serving the property. Those details help determine the array layout and equipment options.
If a roof replacement is approaching, discuss the timing before installing panels. Coordinating both projects can avoid putting a new array on a roof that soon needs work. Trees and nearby buildings also matter: the useful space is the area that can produce well, not simply the largest roof surface.
Sundial develops the proposed scope, coordinates the applicable permitting and utility process, installs the approved equipment and checks system operation. A proposal should explain its production assumptions and included work. Solar does not guarantee that every utility charge disappears.

Confirm the location and any special property requirements
A DeLand mailing address is a starting point. Confirm the permitting jurisdiction for the actual property before scheduling work, including homes outside city limits.
City permits and historic properties
The City of DeLand lists a solar-permit category for photovoltaic and solar-thermal installations on existing structures. The city also reviews development and redevelopment in its downtown historic district. If that applies to your building, raise it early so the roof layout and review process can be considered together.
Useful starting points: the City of DeLand permit portal and historic-property resources. Requirements depend on the property and scope; these links do not replace a project review.
WHEN AN EXISTING SYSTEM NEEDS HELP
Find the cause of lost production or equipment faults
A monitoring app showing no data does not always mean the panels stopped producing. An inverter fault, communications problem or electrical issue needs a different response. Tell us what changed and share any available equipment details or error messages.
Sundial evaluates qualifying systems regardless of the original installer, including orphaned systems left without installer support. We assess the equipment, condition, available documentation, safe access and parts support before recommending a repair or compatible replacement.
Where the work permits, troubleshooting is followed by the agreed repair and operating checks. Recommissioning and monitoring checks help confirm that the equipment is back in service. We cannot promise that every brand, component or warranty can be supported.
SOLAR PANELS AND REROOFING
Arrange solar removal before the roofing crew arrives
Roof work needs a solar plan as well as a roofing date. Sundial works directly with roofing contractors to coordinate access, panel removal and the return of the array after the roof is ready. Share the proposed roofing schedule early, along with the system size and any known equipment problems.
The scope should identify removal and storage arrangements, mounting and flashing requirements, reinstallation, and the checks needed before the system returns to operation. Existing damage or incompatible equipment may change what can be reused.

OTHER SOLAR WORK WE CAN EVALUATE
Storage, heating and commercial systems
Battery backup
Start with the loads you want to keep running and for how long. Battery capacity, controls and compatibility determine what can be supported; adding panels alone does not provide outage power.
Battery-backup options ↗Solar pool heating
Collector area, roof exposure, pool size and swimming-season goals guide the design. Existing systems may need collector, plumbing or control repairs. Heating performance varies with weather and pool conditions.
Pool heating installation & service ↗Solar water heating
We evaluate household solar hot-water equipment, including collectors, tanks, pumps and controls. The condition of the system helps determine whether repair or replacement makes sense.
Solar water-heating services ↗Commercial solar
For a business or commercial property, the review includes energy use, roof access, electrical capacity and operating needs. Sundial can assess new installations and qualifying existing arrays.

Questions about solar in DeLand
What determines the cost of installing solar panels?
System size, equipment, roof layout, electrical work and project requirements all affect the price. Share recent electricity usage and any roofing plans so the estimate can address your property. A local average cannot establish the cost or payback of your individual project.
Should I replace the roof before adding solar?
If the roof is nearing replacement, have its condition reviewed before approving the solar installation. Coordinate the sequence with your roofer and solar contractor. An existing array can also require removal and reinstallation when roofing work becomes necessary.
Can you help if I did not buy my system from Sundial?
Yes, we can review qualifying systems installed by others. Send the equipment make, available monitoring information and the problem you are seeing. Service options depend on equipment condition, compatibility, documentation and parts availability.
Will rooftop solar keep the power on during a storm outage?
Standard grid-connected solar normally shuts down when the utility grid is unavailable. Backup operation requires equipment designed for that purpose. A battery review should identify the supported loads and limits rather than assume the whole property will stay powered.
What should I provide with a DeLand quote request?
Include the property address, whether the job is new solar, repair or reroofing, and any preferred timing. Recent electric bills help with new-system planning. For service, equipment information, error messages and photos taken safely from the ground can help us prepare. Do not climb onto the roof to gather photos.
