Solar Consultation
HOW TO GET STARTED
For any project that you want to complete a good design plan is required. To have a PV or photovoltaic solar system you will need a design to obtain permit approval as well as permission to operate by the local utility.
Steps for solar design process
✔ Analysis or estimate of monthly energy use (kWh) and costs for most recent 12 months
✔ Assessment of roof or property site, including dimensions, shading, obstructions, slope, tilt, azimuth direction toward Sun, local snow load, wind speed, and exposure category
✔ Evaluation of current electrical setup, including the location and size of circuit breaker box(s) and existing wires
✔ Review of local permit or utility requirements, including homeowner association HOA
✔ Owner requirements for aesthetics or location of the system
✔ Solar PV system sizing options (e.g. how many watts of solar are needed now and desired in the future)
✔ Estimated solar energy production scenarios (e.g. how many kWh or kilowatts hours will be produced using PVwatts)
✔ Solar array site plan, including the location of all components
✔ Design layout options and preliminary engineering for rooftop or ground mount configuration
✔ Solar panel and inverter compatibility options
✔ Best price wholesale cost estimates for all equipment from your choice of manufacturers
✔ Easily compare systems side-by-side to evaluate price, performance, quality and compatibility
✔ Tax credit, rebate, and incentive summary
✔ Calculate expected payback, lifetime savings, and ROI
