Work with your chosen solar installer to finalize the system design and apply for all required permits. This step involves creating detailed engineering plans for the solar array, electrical wiring, and mounting structures, tailored to your property's specific characteristics (e.g., roof type, ground space, sun exposure). The installer typically handles the submission of these plans to local building departments and other relevant authorities (e.g., historical review boards for historic homes) to obtain necessary building and electrical permits. The video explicitly mentions that installation only proceeds 'once all permits are secured.'
