Services Provided By A Solar PV Design and Installation Company

Option 1 – Pre-Design Support.
This option was created for clients that want to get a rough estimate of the solar PV system size and its energy performance, and includes: remote site evaluation, recommendations for the primary equipment, an estimate of the system size, shade analysis (using Aurora or Helioscope), and performance analysis.
Option 2 – Pre-Design Support and Single Line Diagram (SLD).
This is an option created for clients that also want preliminary drawings and single line diagram (SLD), but are not yet ready for Commercial Permitting Services.

What to Expect?
A technical sales analyst from the company will evaluate the property to provide you with a free remote solar analysis (by using the best online tools available in the solar industry).
If your solar project is technically and financially feasible, you will be connected with qualified top solar contractors.
To get more information about your property, a site visit might be required.
A consultant (provided by the company) will guide you through the entire process and will submit the required paperwork on your behalf.
The installation timeline will only depend on the size of the solar project and your availability.
Feasibility Study
The sunlight is available all over the planet, but there are areas with high potential for solar, and areas with limited potential for generating solar energy.
The feasibility study will evaluate your site for the potential of going solar by checking the structural loads, the shading in your area, and will help you to choose the right equipment that can maximize the capacity of your solar electric panels to generate clean electricity.
All this data will be gathered and summarized in an easy to read report, that will also be used for grant applications.
Commercial Permitting Services
Any commercial solar installation is different, and therefore a consultation is required to get an accurate price for your solar project.
For Solar Installers
For solar installers, a solar PV design and installation company can provide solar ready permit and interconnection packages, which will ease the work of the installer, and might increase the number of new installs made yearly.
