After this modeling your energy consultant will tailor the design to your specific needs and requests. Some common examples: No panels on the curb facing roof, no chance of cutting down trees, possibly expanding your home in the future, sizing up for an electric vehicle down the road, and countless more. Once all this has been taken into account we generate an accurate projection of what your solar energy system would produce. See the graph below.
The final step is putting all the numbers together by overlaying your consumption and your production to see how the proposed solar energy install would impact your energy bills. Depending on your utilities solar net metering policies you can even receive money back as a credit for the excess energy you produce.
