How are rooftop solar systems designed?

The optimum size for your solar array is determined based on your typical annual energy usage. Images and measurements from Google Earth satellite data and/or architect drawings of your property are then used to model the viable roof space available. Solar panels are placed on this digital model, and factors like orientation, pitch, roof material, and shading are used to make decisions about the ideal location and mounting system for your panels. Once the panels are digitally configured with an appropriate solar inverter, we are able to provide an estimate on total energy generation, pricing, cost savings, and CO2 savings of your system.
