Step 1 · Site Assessment and System Design
Conduct a thorough site assessment to determine the optimal placement and configuration for solar panels. This includes inspecting the roof's structural integrity, assessing its orientation and pitch, identifying any potential shading issues from trees or surrounding structures, and verifying the capacity of the existing electrical service panel. Based on this assessment, design the solar energy system, selecting appropriate solar panels and inverters, and calculating the estimated energy production. This step is critical for ensuring the system's efficiency and safety.
