Solar Permit Sets
Custom turnkey permit sets for photovoltaic and solar thermal projects ensure compliance with local AHJ requirements. Our NEC- and IBC-compliant designs streamline approvals for residential and commercial systems. Services include engineering, site-specific evaluations, and stamped drawings from licensed professionals across all 50 states.
Feasibility Studies
Comprehensive solar feasibility studies assess site-specific factors like shading, climate, and energy production potential. We analyze tree or structure shading, system efficiency, and incentive schemes to guarantee accurate production estimates. Our reports help clients make informed decisions about system size and ROI.
3D Presentation Models
3D design conceptuals and MP4 video presentations enhance client proposals and sales processes. These visual tools demonstrate system layouts, energy output projections, and integration with existing structures. Ideal for feasibility studies and stakeholder communication, they provide clear, actionable insights for complex projects.
Shading Analyses
Preliminary shade modeling identifies obstructions from trees or buildings that could impact solar production. Our analyses ensure systems deliver promised energy output by optimizing panel placement and design. This service is critical for maintaining client trust and system performance.
Financial Modeling
Detailed financial and production modeling evaluates system economics using real-world data. We incorporate rate schedules, TOU/tiered rates, tax incentives, and utility rebates to project ROI. Our models go beyond standard tools like PVwatts, providing tailored insights for residential and commercial clients.
