What is a Site Survey?
Systems Designer Dave Usdan measures a roof on a site survey.
When you are ready, we can send a Systems Designer to your home to evaluate your site. The Systems Designer will record or measure the following information:
- Age of roof & roof design
- Available roof space for solar panels, roof vent locations, and other potential obstructions
- Electric service panel suitability including space for a new dedicated breaker.
- Orientation and pitch of roof.
- Analysis of tree shading and other factors that will affect sunshine hitting the solar panels.
- Proposed location of inverter (indoors, outdoors, etc).
- Any other factors impacting system price, performance, etc.
After the Systems Designer has gathered this information he or she can discuss your potential options for a Solar Electric or Solar Hot Water system. He or she will be able to provide you with the following information:
- Suggested number, type and manufacturer of solar panels or collectors.
- Estimated energy production of the system
- Financial information including rebate details, tax credits, simple payback, annual electric savings, and return on investment
- Sales Proposal
Sunlight Solar Energy is available to conduct site surveys in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, and Oregon.
