Your solar journey, step by step

Your solar journey, step by step

We guide you through the entire process, from system design and approvals to installation and activation.

A clear process for a complex system

A clear process for a complex system

Going solar in Aruba involves more than placing panels on a roof.

Your system needs to be designed correctly, documents must be prepared, approvals are needed from Elmar and DTI, and the installation has to be checked before everything goes fully live.

EcoSun keeps the process clear from start to finish, so you always know what is happening, what we need from you, and what comes next.

Step 1

Step 1

Advice & estimate

Advice & estimate

We look at your situation

We look at your situation

We review your energy use, roof situation and goals to understand what system fits your home best.

What you do

Share your energy usage and basic home information.

What happens next

You receive a clear proposal with system size, costs and expected savings.

Step 2

Proposal & agreement

Step 3

Documents & preliminary approval

Documents & preliminary approval

We request approval from Elmar

We request approval from Elmar

Before installation, a preliminary approval from Elmar is required. We prepare and submit this request for you.

What we need from you:

  • A valid ID

  • A situational drawing (DLV)

  • A signed Elmar waiver

What happens

We submit your application to Elmar and monitor the process.

Important to know

This step can take several weeks and is outside EcoSun’s direct control. We keep you informed and follow up where possible.

Installation planning

Installation planning

Your installation is scheduled

Your installation is scheduled

Once the preparation is complete, we plan the installation date and align the technical team, materials and roof access.

What you do

Make sure we can access the property.

What EcoSun does

We install the panels, inverter and related equipment.

Step 5

Step 5

Inspection & activation

Inspection & activation

Your system is checked and approved

Your system is checked and approved

After installation, your system must be inspected and approved by DTI and Elmar before it can go fully live.

What happens

We coordinate the inspection process and make sure everything is technically ready.

Important to know

Inspection planning can take time and is partly outside our control. Your system may already be ready while you are waiting for final approval.

Why this goes faster with EcoSun

We have an in-house DTI-certified installer. This means your system is installed according to the latest requirements from the start, reducing delays, rework and back-and-forth during inspection.
