Solar Site Assessment
As with any trade, conducting a solar site assessmentĀ is an essential part of the Solar electricity site analysis process. This will develop from an estimate to a detailed and final quote. InstallersĀ canĀ sometimes makeĀ conservativeĀ assumptions of site specific parameters such as cable runs, installation hours, structural integrity, etc, and may end up over-pricing, or performing poorly in general.Ā at TSS, we take everything into consideration to provide accurate and fair pricing with an efficient system tailored to your needs.
A Solar power system is not simply putting panels and connecting to the Balance of System (BOS), but requires a firm design and installation plan, as well as an expectation of how your system is going to function, both technologically and economically, in the short and long term. A solar site assessment is critical for a proper solar power system design and to produce an expectation for its future performance.
Site assessment will also look at
- Suitability; site, PV installation.
- Installation prerequisites; system type ā grid-tied, grid-tied w/battery backup, off-grid, electrical codes, Electric service provider.
- Analysis of utility service provider requirements; PV, disconnects, inverter etc.
- Electric bill review; Electric efficiency review, percentage of electricity provided by PV, offset.
