Before the panels: planning your first solar system

Start with your energy use. Recent electricity bills, daily consumption data, and a list of the appliances that matter most help establish a useful starting point.

Next, think about your available space. Roof area is only one part of the picture: shading, orientation, access, and structural suitability need a site assessment.

Decide what you expect during an outage. Supporting a few essential circuits is a different design problem from supporting an entire property. Identify the loads and runtime you need before choosing a battery.

Use the solar calculator as a preliminary planning tool, then talk to our team about a detailed assessment.
