We Make Solar Easy

Start With a Clear Property Review

Before any recommendation is made, Convert Solar studies your previous 12 months of electricity usage, completes a drone roof assessment, and reviews the parts of the property that may affect production. This creates a practical starting point for determining system size, equipment placement, and overall project scope.

Compare Purchase and Lease Options

Homeowners may purchase their system or select a solar lease. Our team explains the financial structure, ownership terms, and responsibilities connected with each option so you can evaluate them on equal footing. Convert Solar does not offer Power Purchase Agreements in Virginia.

Move Through the Project With One Team

Convert Solar handles design, engineering, permit filings, utility interconnection, installation, and ongoing project support through an in-house process. Woodlake homeowners have a consistent team coordinating each stage, reducing handoffs and keeping the project moving toward activation.
