Solenergi will work with you during a site assessment to analyze at least 12 consecutive months’ worth of electricity bills, determine tilt angles, shading around the property, and weather patterns in order to determine the appropriate size, design, and output of the system. We will also design the system to meet local building, fire, and Historic District requirements, and take care of the permitting process 100%.

With a grid-tied system, you won’t have to worry about not making enough electricity during off-peak hours or storing excess electricity during bright summer days. Instead, you will sell excess energy back to the power company and you will still purchase traditional electricity at night or when the panels' output is less than you need. This is completely seamless and requires no switches or manual intervention.
