New residential construction · California Title 24, Part 6

Title 24 solar, subcontracted. We pull our own permit and sign the CF-2R.

You have a permitted project with a PV line on the plans. We install it to those plans, carry our own trade permit, complete the installing-contractor certificate, and close out at final AHJ inspection.

Commercial terms

Read this before you send us a project.

The terms a general contractor reads first, stated before anything else on this page asks you for a project detail.

The one thing to take away

Final milestone is AHJ inspection, not utility PTO

We will not hold your closeout against a date neither of us controls. Submitting and chasing the interconnection is our job. Permission to Operate is the utility’s clock, and it does not sit between you and your final.

  • Payment on a schedule of values

    Three milestones: materials delivered to site, substantial completion, and final AHJ inspection. Invoiced against the schedule of values, not against a calendar.

  • Retention per Civil Code §§ 8810–8822

    Retention is withheld and released on the statutory schedule. We do not ask for retention terms outside the code.

  • Licensed, bonded and insured

    CSLB #1088598. Commercial general liability in force at $1,000,000 each occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate, with a $2,000,000 products–completed operations aggregate. Additional insured endorsement and waiver of subrogation are available and issued before we mobilise.

  • Ten-year workmanship warranty

    Covering our field work and every roof penetration we make. Equipment carries its own manufacturer warranty.

The scope split

The split below mirrors the Title 24 responsibility matrix. It is the same split that goes into the subcontract — nothing moves between columns after award.

Item GreeMpower Contractor

Schedule and coordination

Where we sit in your sequence.

Solar lands late in your sequence, which means it lands next to your final. Here is exactly what we need and where we sit.

  1. You send the plan set and the permit number

    The PV pages, the CF-1R, and the permit number. That is enough for us to price the work and confirm we can install to the sizing already on the plans.

  2. We confirm a mobilisation window in writing

    Against your roof-dry date and your inspection target, before contract. If your schedule moves, the window is re-confirmed rather than assumed.

  3. We permit, install and inspect on our own ticket

    Our trade permit, our inspection appointment, our corrections. Your superintendent gets a date, not a coordination task.

  4. Closeout package lands with the CF-2R

    As-builts, warranties, the signed CF-2R and the inspection sign-off in one handover, so your compliance file closes without a chase.

Completed photovoltaic array clamped to the seams of a standing-seam metal roof on a new residential building.
Standing seam: the array clamps to the seam. No penetration.

Coordination One named project manager owns the subcontract end to end and answers in under thirty minutes, by email or voice — the same standard we hold on every other job we run.

Send us the project.

Company, contact and where it is. If you have the permit number and a target window, include them — that is enough to confirm scope and come back with a number.

A named project manager responds in under thirty minutes. By email or voice. Not a call centre, and not a sales sequence.
