Design & Installation

Solar is a science, and as easy as it is to get electricity from a panel simply exposed to sunlight, proper design and installation are required to get the full benefits from your PV system. With the standardization of PV installation methods and requirements detailed in NEC Article 690, there are many important factors that must be considered, measured and calculated to properly install a productive, code-compliant PV system. Let our experienced professionals crunch the numbers and design a system that is optimized to fit your needs and your budget. Part of our evaluation is an interview with you, to determine what your specific goals and expectations are. We are committed to customer satisfaction and results that speak for themselves.

SITE EVALUATION - SYSTEM DESIGN
Many key components of a successfully designed PV system are dependent up on the characteristics of the site. The 2 main aspects of the site evaluation are:

AVAILABLE SOLAR ENERGY

where will the array be mounted and what direction will it face
how many hours of "peak sun" are available
what is the optimum tile angle

We ensure precise measurements of the solar exposure, shading obstacles and seasonal variations to determine the true availability of solar energy throughout the year.

RACK AND EQUIPMENT MOUNTING

local electrical and zoning codes factored in
what type of roof or surface will the array be mounted to
what is the optimum configuration and location for the solar array and equipment
what is the length and location of wire runs

SYSTEM INSTALLATION
After the system has been properly designed, the next step is a professional installation. At Sundowner Solar, we guarantee your system is safely installed and meets all appropriate building and electrical codes.

SYSTEM ECONOMICS
The cost per watt of solar energy has dropped 2000% over the past 25 years. Combine that with the incentive and rebate programs and you get solar electric power that is the same price, or even less, than utility supplied power.
