Sunlux installation
Sunlux solar installation only takes one or two days, but the prep time can take up to 90 days.
- The installation process starts with a visit to the location, where specialists survey for challenges and measure the available space.
- Within the following week, Sunlux designers draft a plan that matches the customer’s desired aesthetic and efficiency.
- The company then applies for permits. Permit approval may take up to a month.
- Once the permits arrive, the company will schedule an appointment to install your new solar energy system.
- After installation, the system must pass an inspection. Once it has passed inspection, energy production can begin.

Sunlux costs
Sunlux prices vary depending on the size of your roof and whether you purchase, finance, lease or prepay for your solar panels. The company offers a solar calculator that can help you estimate the cost of your solar system and utility cost savings over time based on your average monthly utility bill and your state.
If you decide to purchase, you only need to put down a $1,000 deposit to start the process —the remaining cost would be due once the installation of the solar system commences.
Sunlux regularly coordinates with clients to find loan options, working with partners such as the Energy Loan Network. Federal tax credits are also available to lower construction costs.

Sunlux offers several different options for its solar energy systems:
- Purchase: Customers can purchase their solar system outright. This option features 0% interest and requires a $1,000 down payment. Customers can claim a 30% tax credit on the total system and installation cost.

This option features $0 down, with both short- and long-term payment plans available, and accommodation of low FICO scores.

- Lease/PPA: Sunlux’s Leasing/PPA options leasing options feature $0 down and a fixed monthly payment on a 25-year agreement.
