System Sizing and Quote Process, It's Easy!

alternative energyHow do you determine the size of a solar power system? (Don't let the solar integrators fool you, it's easy!):

1. Get a copy of your utility bill that shows your usage for the last year.
2. Determine the approximate unshaded area available on your property in square footage for solar module mounting.
3. Look at this US Solar Map and locate your solar insolation zone
4. Look at the list of our available grid tie systems below. Select a system that fits in your available square footage.
5. The system production in KWHr/year is listed for each system based on the solar insolation zone. Compare the output in your zone to your facilities annual KWHr/year consumption. That is the percentage contribution the solar system will make towards your energy usage. Ideally, the figure is between 25-75%.
6. Call us to request a quote and we can quickly determine the feasibility and economics of installing a commercial grid tie system on your property.

Just give us a toll-free call to review your power requirements, geographical location and mounting options to ascertain the best system for your needs. We need the information above to quickly determine the feasibility and economics of installing a solar grid tie system on your building or property. Once we gather this information, we can provide a proper solar system quote.

Grid tie solar electric systems for commercial businesses and government agencies are the fastest growing segment of the solar market worldwide. With net metering programs now approved in most of the U.S. states, thousands of businesses, schools and government agencies are now experiencing the benefits of solar electricity. In 2006, worldwide annual solar revenues were estimated to be over $15 billion. With the concerns over rising energy prices and climate change, the solar market is expected exceed $70 billion by 2016.

With a 30% Federal tax credit for solar power grid tie systems through 2008, now is the time to invest in a solar power system for your facility. Many states have rebates to further help subsidize the cost of the solar photovoltaic system. With solar panel warranties of 25 years, solar arrays will stabilize your power costs over that period. Plus, they generate the electricity during peak load times, often offsetting higher tier utility rates, enhancing the system's payback time.

Basic Questions You May Have:

Why should I install a solar power system on my business?
Why should I buy a commercial grid tie system from Solar Electric Supply?
