Services Design. Once the site analysis is completed, we will design your system, which includes calculating appropriate racking, solar modules, inverters, wiring, disconnects, meters, and permits. We review the design with you. Sign the contract and make a deposit. This allows us to order the supplies for your system, pull any building permits and prepare for the installation.

Energy Audit. The first place to start with your renewable energy installation is an energy audit. For new or existing building construction, it makes sense to first reduce your energy demands. This will immediately begin to save you money as your energy bills go down. It will also enable you to install a smaller system, saving you money. Energy audits may be available through your utility company or professional services specializing in energy audits. We have professional experience working in energy audits and can assist you with this process. Obtain a year's worth of utility bills as these will provide important information of your energy needs.
Site Analysis. We will come to your place of business or home to do a site analysis and solar shading analysis. From simple to complex, we work with you to design the renewable energy system that fits your needs and budget. At this time we supply solar electric systems for off-grid and on-grid, with or without battery backup. The most economical system is grid-tied without battery backup, the most expensive a stand-alone system. This phase will also let you know if additional work is necessary prior to installation of your system.
Installation. With the approval of the design we order supplies, and installation can begin based on the delivery of solar modules and other equipment. We install the system on your home or business and then have it inspected. A licensed electrician will complete the final hookup to the utility grid. On a sunny day, watch your net meter spin backwards and enjoy the energy that flows freely to you every day from the sun!
