Site Assessment

Our on-site assessment results guide the final design and implementation of the solar installation, ensuring it meets energy production goals, complies with local regulations, and is cost-effective. Trust ACE Solar Energy for accurate project proposals tailored to your needs.

​

A site assessment is a vital step in the journey towards harnessing solar power. At ACE Solar Energy, we conduct comprehensive evaluations of specific locations where solar panels are to be installed. This ensures not only feasibility but also optimal performance of the solar installation. Here's what our on-site assessment entails:

Site Evaluation:

  • We determine the geographical location, orientation, and tilt of the site to assess its solar potential.

  • Identification of any shading obstacles such as nearby buildings, trees, or other structures that could affect solar panel performance.

Roof or Ground Assessment:

  • Assessing the structural integrity of the roof or the suitability of the ground for solar panel installation.

  • Ensuring that the surface can support the weight of solar panels and mounting equipment.

Electrical Assessment:

  • Reviewing the existing electrical system to determine its capacity and compatibility with the solar installation.

  • Evaluating the electrical panel to assess if any upgrades or modifications are necessary.

Permitting and Regulations:

  • Verifying local building codes, zoning regulations, and permitting requirements for solar installations in the area.

  • Determining if any special permits or approvals are needed.

Budget and Financing:

  • Estimating the overall cost of the solar installation, including equipment, labor, and additional components.

  • Exploring financing options and incentives, including government rebates and tax credits.

Energy Consumption Analysis:

  • Analyzing the property’s historical energy consumption to determine the appropriate size of the solar system needed.

System Design:

  • Developing a preliminary solar panel layout and design that considers shading, orientation, and space constraints.

  • Determining the type of solar panels and inverters to be used.

Environmental Impact Assessment:

  • Evaluating the environmental impact of the installation, including considerations for wildlife, vegetation, and local ecosystems.

Safety and Compliance:

  • Ensuring adherence to safety standards, including OSHA guidelines.

Timeline:

  • Establishing a timeline for the installation, from permitting to project completion.

Specific Considerations:

  • Addressing unique challenges or opportunities specific to the location.

Maintenance and Warranty:

  • Discussing maintenance requirements and warranty information for the solar panels and equipment.

  • Understanding the lifespan and performance expectations of the system.
