That is a problem because a poorly installed system with great panels is still a poorly installed system. And the consequences of bad racking and mounting work do not always show up right away. They show up years later when something shifts, leaks, or stops producing the way it should.

In this video Todd walks through what a quality solar installation actually looks like from the ground up. How the racking system gets laid out and secured before anything else happens. Why the mounting hardware and how it interfaces with your specific roof type matters more than most installers will tell you. And the step by step process our crew follows on every job to make sure the finished system is built to last the full life of the panels.

If you are comparing quotes from multiple companies right now this video will give you a much better sense of the questions you should be asking and what the answers should sound like.

In an industry that is famous for overpromising and underdelivering, that sentence is everything. It means Dunnegan told Wael exactly what was going to happen at every stage of the process and then made sure it happened that way. No bait and switch on pricing. No surprises on installation day. No gap between what was promised and what was delivered.

From the initial consult through the meeting, the plan, the product, the pricing, and the installation, Wael knew what to expect every step of the way because we told him what to expect every step of the way.

That is just how we operate. And it is exactly the kind of experience every Pittsburgh area homeowner who works with us deserves.

If you want to know what to expect before you ever reach out to us, send us a message or drop a comment below. We will walk you through the whole process before you commit to anything. Free, no obligation, no pressure.

How long does the whole process actually take from the day you say yes to the day your system is powered on?

The honest answer used to involve a longer wait tied to Duquesne Light’s interconnection and approval process. That has changed. In this video Dunnegan talks about how Duquesne Light has significantly improved how they handle solar applications and what that means for Pittsburgh area homeowners who are ready to move forward today.

The timeline from first conversation to powered on system is better right now than it has been in a long time. And with summer already here and Duquesne Light bills climbing, that is genuinely good news if you have been on the fence about when to pull the trigger.

Multiple roof planes, different pitches, dormers, chimneys and obstacles our crew has to design around before a single mount goes in. Every one of these installs starts with precise layout work on the roof itself so that the finished system is optimized for that specific home and not just whatever fits most easily.

The results speak for themselves from up above.

This is the kind of work that requires real experience and real attention to detail. It is also exactly the kind of work that national solar franchises with rotating crews and tight install schedules tend to cut corners on.

Our crew does not cut corners. And it shows.

If you have been told your roof is too complex for solar or got a quote that felt like it was designed for someone else’s house, send us a message or drop a comment below. We would love to take a real look at your specific situation. Free assessment, no obligation, no pressure.

If you have ever talked yourself out of solar because you figured Pittsburgh just does not get enough sunshine, Todd has something to say about that.

Germany is one of the cloudiest countries on the planet. It also happens to be one of the global leaders in solar energy production. Hundreds of thousands of German homeowners are powering their homes with solar despite weather conditions that are objectively worse than what Pittsburgh sees on an average year.

Pittsburgh actually outperforms Germany in peak sun hours. Let that sink in for a second.

In this video Todd breaks down exactly why the “not enough sun” objection does not hold up when you look at the real data, and why Pittsburgh homeowners are actually in a better position than most people realize when it comes to solar production.

The cloudiest city in the US for solar is not Pittsburgh. Not even close.

“Dunnegan continued to answer my questions even after the job was done.”

In an industry where a lot of companies treat installation day as the finish line, that sentence means everything to us. Because from our perspective installation day is not the finish line. It is the beginning of a long term relationship with a homeowner who is trusting us with one of the biggest investments they will make in their home.

Questions come up after the install. The monitoring app shows something unfamiliar. A neighbor asks about the system and the homeowner wants to be able to explain it. Whatever it is, Dunnegan picks up the phone.

That is just how we operate. And apparently it shows.

If you are looking for a solar company that treats you like a customer for life and not just until the check clears, send us a message or drop a comment below. Free assessment, no obligation, no pressure.

Dale did his homework. Years of quotes through EnergySage. Company after company that came in expensive and did not offer real value for the money.

Then he had one conversation with Dunnegan.

What changed was not the product. Solar panels are solar panels. What changed was the approach. Dunnegan took the time to actually understand Dale’s situation and designed a custom solution around his specific home and his specific needs rather than dropping a generic proposal and hoping it stuck.

The crew finished the entire installation in a single day.

If you have been through the quote process before and walked away feeling like solar was either too expensive or not worth the hassle, we would love the chance to have a different kind of conversation with you. Send us a message or drop a comment below. Free assessment, no obligation, no pressure.

In this video Dunnegan explains the biggest myth in the solar industry right now. The belief that having solar panels on your roof automatically means your home keeps running when the grid goes down.

The reality is more nuanced than that and it has everything to do with how your system is set up. Panels alone do not give you backup power. There is a specific reason for that and it is actually a safety feature, not a flaw. And there is a straightforward solution that changes the picture entirely for homeowners who want true energy independence.

Dunnegan walks through all of it plainly and honestly in this video because we would rather you understand exactly what you are getting before you make a decision than find out after the fact during a Pittsburgh winter outage.

Watch it and if you have questions about what backup power would look like for your specific home send us a message or drop a comment below. Free, no obligation, no pressure.

In this video Dunnegan talks about something that every Pittsburgh homeowner should be thinking about before they sign with any solar company. Not just the price. Not just the equipment. But whether the company you are about to trust with your roof and your energy costs is actually going to be there for you in year 3, year 7, year 15.

Because solar is not a product you buy and forget about. It is a system that will need attention at some point. A question will come up. Something will need to be checked. And when that moment arrives you want to be able to call someone who knows your system, knows your home, and actually picks up the phone.

That is the standard Connected Energy Solar holds itself to on every single installation. Not just showing up on install day but being the company our customers can still call years down the road.

Watch the video and if that kind of long term relationship matters to you when choosing a solar company, send us a message or drop a comment below. We would love to earn that trust.

Something Pittsburgh homeowners with solar do not always think about until they need it.

What happens when you need your roof worked on and the panels have to come down first?

Michael found out firsthand what it looks like when a solar company actually stands behind its work. Connected Energy Solar removed his panels, completed the job, and reinstalled everything with a guarantee that the system would perform exactly as it did before. According to Michael it came back better and more secure than it was originally.

That is the kind of service relationship that only exists when you hire a local company with real people who answer the phone and take accountability for their work long after the installation is done.

If you have an existing solar system that needs service, removal and reinstallation, or repairs on work done by another company, send us a message or drop a comment below. We will take a look and give you a straight honest answer about what it needs.
