Frequently Asked Questions

Sizing Your PV Systems

Accurately sizing the components of your solar electric system, also known as a photovoltaic (PV) system, helps ensure that your system will produce the amount of power you want it to produce.

Suppose that you would like to meet a certain percentage of your “On Peak” electricity needs with your PV system. We will examine your past electric bills and determine the size of the PV system needed to achieve that goal. You can contact your utility company and request the total electricity usage, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh), for your household or business over the past 12 months or consult your electric bills if you save them.

How much does a system cost?

It depends on what system is required to meet your needs for your home, business or industrial location. The physical panel installation areas. The direction that the panels face. The angle of degrees that panels are mounted. The location, temperature footprint. The rated efficiency of the modules and the temperature co-efficiencies. Local dust, weather and shading factors. The efficiency of the inverters and the insulation profile of the city.

Are there rebates or tax incentives available?

We will have all rebate information for you relative to utilities, as well as all state and federal tax incentives.
