Solar Feasibility Study
Step 1: Business Electrical Usage Analysis and Modeling
Our solar experts analyze your PG&E billing data to identify trends in how electricity is consumed by your organization and determine when it is the most expensive to purchase electricity from PG&E. Our usage analysis is aimed at pinning down when and how you use electricity so we can design a system specifically for your operation and anticipated usage moving forward. Electricity rates are on the rise and PG&E has already raised rates in 2014. Understanding how electricity rates will increase and impact your business is key and solar may have a dramatic affect on your bottom line.
Step 2: Solar Electricity Production Modeling
Based on your electricity use patterns, we develop a conceptual design based on your property information and model energy production over time. Solar systems are predictable and solar power production can be modeled accurately. Accurate modeling has led to financing companies funding solar projects all over the world. Financing companies now consider solar bankable; in other words, safe to invest in since long-term benefit can be estimated accurately with solar production modeling.
Step 3: Calculate Net Investment
Based on our design, cost of construction, tax incentives, and available solar financing programs; we crunch the numbers to determine your net investment. Our net investment estimates can factor in different financing programs clients may be interested in using. If you need help with financing we have partnered with banks, solar financing companies, and local communities to help businesses access the best financing options available.
Step 4: Analyze Return on Investment
Based on your net investment, future energy costs, and modeled solar energy production, we determine your return on investment (ROI). Understanding how solar saves your business money and is key to understanding if solar is right for your business.
