The path
What happens, in what order, and who does it.
- 01
A number in a minute
Tell us the zip and the bill. The estimator returns a range you can actually compare to what you pay today.
- 02
In-home design visit
A Helio advisor measures the roof, the panel, the envelope, and the comfort load — then shows you what the house can support.
- 03
One bundled number
Solar, storage, roof, heat pump, electrical — priced as a system, financed as a system, scheduled as a system.
- 04
Install and 30 years
State-licensed crews, with NABCEP-certified professionals on staff. Then a portal, a warranty, and a number that still picks up.
How long it actually takes.
Ranges, not promises — every house has something. What we will do is tell you the real number before you sign, and tell you again if it moves.
- Solar — contract to installed
- Design, permits, and the utility application. The crew is on the roof at the end of it, usually for a day or two.
- Solar — contract to making power
- The array sits finished but switched off until your utility grants permission to operate. That wait is theirs, not ours, and it is the part nobody tells you about.
- Roofing — contract to done
- No utility in the loop, so this moves at the speed of materials and weather.
- Heat pumps — contract to done
- Same. If it is bundled with solar we will sequence it so you are not without heat waiting on a panel upgrade.

Solar timelines move with your utility's interconnection queue and your town's permitting, neither of which we control. What we control is telling you when we know, rather than when you ask.
Permits, interconnection, and incentive applications (RRES, ESS, Mass Save, and your state’s programs) are Helio’s job. You should not be filling PURA forms at 11pm.
