Solar Power System Custom Design

Several factors are considered when designing a custom solar power system, including the property's location, building layout, and existing wiring. The homeowner's objectives and energy requirements must also be taken into account to select the right equipment and size the system effectively.

Systems are sized based on the property's specific energy needs, considering the intended applications and features. Reviewing past power bills or obtaining a detailed monthly usage report from the utility company can assist in this process. If utility usage data isn't available, we can estimate.

The first step is to select an appropriate location and assess how many solar panels can be installed there. During the estimation phase, satellite images or building prints are used. A suitable layout is then chosen, and an accurate estimate of the monthly energy production is provided.

While roof-mounted solar panels are generally preferred, ground-mounted systems may be more appropriate in certain circumstances. Although ground mounts typically come with additional costs, they are proposed for off-grid scenarios or when roof options are limited.

Additionally, we consider the potential for future expansion during the design phase. This allows for the future addition of solar panels and batteries without requiring significant modifications, making it easier to adapt as your needs evolve.

Balancing capacity with energy requirements is crucial when sizing a solar power system to meet your goals. We will work together to find the best approach for your specific situation.
