Learn how to eliminate shade, protect your investment, and increase solar efficiency

  01  ASSESS

Site Evaluation

The process begins with a careful assessment of how surrounding trees affect your sun exposure. Even minimal shading can disrupt panel output and reduce overall system efficiency.

While trimming can temporarily reduce shading, it rarely solves the problem long term. Trees continue to grow, and branches usually regrow quickly, which means shading often comes back within a season or two.

Beyond performance, trimming can actually put the tree at risk. Removing too many branches weakens its structure, leaves it vulnerable to pests and disease, and can make it unstable in storms. In some cases, stressed trees fail years later, creating serious safety hazards and unexpected property damage.

Our experts typically recommend full removal when shading is significant. Removing the tree eliminates the problem permanently, restores maximum sunlight to your roof, and ensures you won’t face the risks that come with repeated trimming.

In some cases, yes. Whether a permit is required depends on local city rules, county ordinances, or your homeowner’s association (HOA). For example, certain neighborhoods regulate the removal of larger or older trees, or those close to sidewalks and property lines.

If a permit is needed, we’ll walk you through the requirements and help with the paperwork so the process is as smooth as possible. Our goal is to make sure everything is done safely, legally, and without delays to your solar project.

When no permit is required, we simply move forward with scheduling the removal, saving you time and allowing your panels to begin producing at full capacity more quickly.

1. Assessment & Planning

We begin with an on-site evaluation of the tree’s height, health, and location. This step determines whether trimming is enough or if full removal is the best solution to restore sunlight to your roof.

2. Permits & Preparation

Some neighborhoods or cities require permits before a tree can be removed. If that applies, our team will guide you through the process and handle the paperwork when possible. We also set up the work area with safety equipment and protective measures for your property.

3. Professional Removal

Our trained crew uses industry-standard equipment such as ropes, pulleys, and chainsaws to remove the tree in safe, controlled sections. Each piece is carefully lowered to avoid any risk to your home, panels, or landscaping.

4. Cleanup & Disposal

Once the tree is down, we haul away the branches and trunk, leaving your property clean. If requested, we’ll also grind the stump to level the ground and prepare it for new landscaping or open space.

With this process, your roof is clear of shade, your panels are exposed to full sunlight, and your system is ready to perform at its best.
