Steps to Installing Renewable Energy:

• 

  PHASE 1: CONSULTATION

  This is the first step, whether you choose to move forward with a solar-energy system or not. We will explore the benefits and advantages with you.

  Site Evaluation & Feasibility Study:

  Every client is unique, so we conduct a site survey to determine roof slope, orientation, shading, solar panel location, and solar-power distribution. We want to make sure your site is viable, from both an engineering and financial-return perspective, before proceeding with solar-system design and installation.

  Energy Production & Solar-Project Financial Modeling:

  We will provide a detailed solar-energy proposal that includes the following:

  • Suggested solar-panel system size
  • Renewable-energy savings
  • Payback calculations
  • Cash flow analysis
  • Environmental benefits

  We will identify federal and local incentives, solar tax credits, depreciation, and other benefits that improve your investment.

• PHASE 2: SOLAR SYSTEM DESIGN

  

  When you decide to proceed, our engineering team will design your solar-energy system. Designs typically include professional CAD drawings to illustrate the solar panel and inverter selections and solar-panel system layout, an electrical one-line diagram with calculations, and structural and wind analysis.

  Permit and Incentive Processing:

  We will submit and manage all the paperwork for federal and state renewable-energy incentives, utility interconnection, and local permitting requirements.

• PHASE 3: SOLAR SYSTEM INSTALLATION

  

  Construction Management and Installation:

  Our solar-power installers will manage the entire solar-system installation process and all necessary equipment. Teams of installers are led by a licensed master electrician.

  System Commissioning:

  We will complete official interconnection with your utility company, walkthrough training, and a comprehensive commissioning checklist prior to activating the system.

• PHASE 4: SOLAR POWER GENERATION

  

  Monitoring and system maintenance:

  We will routinely monitor your solar-energy system’s performance and alert you of any problems.

  • Web-based solar-energy monitoring to ensure system production.
  • Real-time solar-power monitoring program for lobby display.
  • Scheduled solar panel and system maintenance.
  • Repairs as needed.

  Ongoing Support:

  Our success is tied to that of our client partners, and we offer various types of support to ensure that mutual success:

  • Marketing and PR support to promote your solar-system installation.
  • Solar-power rebate and incentive document preparation and filing.
  • Renewable-energy policy navigation.
