After determining the size of your system, we will help find the best placement of your panels as well as your energy management equipment.  You can expect that per 1000w (1kW) of energy production you will need roughly 100 sq. ft. of space.  This can be achieved with roof space or a ground mounted array.

The size of your system depends on your energy usage, which varies in each application.  Grid tied systems are generally installed turn-key at $3 to $6 dollars per watt.  Becoming more energy efficient, taking advantage of federal and local incentives as well as choosing the right installation team to do the job right the first time will maximize the return on your investment.  Most residential customers see a payback in 8 to 13 years.  Businesses that claim Bonus depreciation see their return on investment in as little as 2 to 3 years.

Are you looking for a quality investment?  Now is the time to get on board with Solar!  It may cost you more to go solar in the future. Prices have already dropped substantially on solar technology with the prices of Photovoltaic (PV), the main ingredient of Silicone, at a historic low. While the price of energy from fossil fuels continues to rise as well as the government’s tax credit availability  expected to decline over the coming years. It could cost more to install solar in the future.  With the need for sustainable clean energy growing every day, why not go solar now?
