Design Services

The first step in a successful solar energy installation is to assure that your system is properly designed. There are many details to attend to during a system design, and REgrid Power is your expert guide to them. The following are some of the services we provide during a complete system design:

Site Survey:

Many of the characteristics of successful solar installations are site specific. We perform a thorough site survey of your prospective system location with the proper instrumentation to assess all required parameters, including:

Solmetric Suneye assists in calculating optimum solar exposure and potential shadowing

  • site elevation & latitude, average available hours of sunlight
  • availability of suitable mounting location, tilt angle & direction of mounting location
  • type of roof or mounting surface, roof live load calculations
  • seasonal shading using the latest high-tech shade measurement device available
  • weather patterns & average temperatures
  • current & projected system loads
  • length & location of wire runs
  • component placement
  • local zoning & electrical codes

Economic Analysis:

Solar energy is indeed cost effective. The cost per watt has dropped more than 2000% over the past twenty-five years. With the availability of state and federal incentives and credits the cost per watt for solar power is now comparable or less than utility power for many applications. As part of our complete design services, your REgrid Power representative will provide an easy to read, no-nonsense analysis of complete system costs including materials, installation, permits, incentives & tax credits you may be eligible for, plus annual & lifetime energy savings projections. A few of the economics stated in the analysis are:

  • Internal Rate of Return (IRR) with or without financing
  • Payback without consideration of resale value
  • Incremental real estate value of your solar system
  • Average annual savings of the system in the first year
  • Solar systems have a very long, low maintenance life expectancy – typically 30 years or more
  • The fuel costs for a solar electric system are free
  • There is a state property tax exemption on solar electric systems

Incentives & Credits:

Solar systems installed in California are eligible for a variety of state and federal incentives and tax credits. As part of its complete design services, your REgrid Power representative will assure that required governmental paperwork is completed in order to qualify you for any available rebates and incentives. Contact REgrid Power for more detailed information on current incentives that include:
