A quality solar system design is crucial for utility interconnection and getting the most value from the system. Our PV system design team includes licensed electricians and NABCEP-certified professionals with extensive technical expertise. This ensures that all residential and commercial systems comply with electrical codes and produce the most clean energy possible.
Why is solar system design important?
An accurate shade analysis is essential for determining the payback period and return on investment. A common PV design error is miscalculating the impacts of shading on the array. The Solar Plus team takes a data-driven approach for accurate results. We can also install equipment that helps mitigate the effects of shading, such as microinverters and power optimizers.
Another common error is to not properly account for roof obstructions, such as chimneys, dormers, HVAC equipment, skylights, vent pipes, etc. Unfortunately, this results in unplanned alterations during the installation process. Our team is experienced in installing solar systems on both roofs and ground mounts for optimum productions.
How do I select the best solar panels and equipment?
Choosing the best panels, inverters, and racking systems for a project is crucial. High-efficiency solar panels are beneficial when roof space is limited or shade is an issue. Our PV installers and technicians also commonly use microinverters to promote peak energy production. Equipment warranties also vary by the manufacturer. When using locally-manufactured products is preferred, we can source Hanhwa Q Cells solar panels from the Dalton, Georgia manufacturing plant.
The price of various solar equipment varies by the manufacturer. We have a variety of options available to fit your project budget and goals. There are also many solar equipment options with different warranties, pricing, and performance characteristics.
Can I install solar panels with battery storage?
Yes, the Solar Plus team is experienced in installing solar energy systems with batteries throughout Georgia. In recent years, advanced battery storage has decreased in cost while becoming more widely available. Solar battery technology innovations make energy storage an attractive option for our clients that need backup power during grid outages.
