Solar Energy Solutions
Complete protocol and procedures for solar energy system consultation, site assessment, system design, and installation. Our systematic approach ensures optimal energy production and maximum savings.
Initial Consultation
Energy Assessment
Our solar consultation begins with understanding your energy needs:
- Review of past 12 months of electricity bills to determine energy consumption patterns
- Assessment of roof orientation, shading, and available space for panels
- Discussion of energy goals, budget, and financing options
- Information about available tax credits, rebates, and incentives
Energy Analysis
Comprehensive review of your energy needs
Site Evaluation
Detailed assessment of installation potential
Site Assessment & Walk-Around
On-Site Evaluation Protocol
Our certified solar assessor conducts a comprehensive site evaluation:
- Roof Analysis: Measurement of roof dimensions, pitch, orientation, and structural integrity assessment
- Sun Exposure: Shading analysis using solar pathfinder tools, identifying optimal panel placement
- Electrical Assessment: Evaluation of existing electrical panel, capacity, and connection requirements
- Documentation: Photographic documentation, measurements, and site condition notes for system design
Assessment Checklist
System Design & Proposal
Custom System Design
Our engineering team creates a customized solar system design:
- Panel Layout: Optimized panel placement using CAD software, maximizing energy production
- Inverter Selection: Choosing the right inverter type (string, micro, or power optimizer) based on your roof configuration
- Energy Production Estimate: Projected annual kWh production based on location, orientation, and system size
- Financial Analysis: ROI calculations, payback period, and lifetime savings projections
Proposal Includes
