FAQ

The questions we get asked before most projects start.

  • What financing options are available?

    Cash purchase, commercial solar loan, and PPA structures are each presented with a total-cost comparison over the analysis period so you can make an informed choice. We do not push one product — the right structure depends on your tax position, cash flow, and holding period, which we discuss before recommending.

  • What if the roof needs work?

    We assess roof condition as part of the site visit and flag issues before any penetrations are made. If re-roofing is warranted, we coordinate quotes from qualified roofing contractors and sequence the work so your solar installation is not delayed. A roof warranty that coordinates with the panel warranty timeline is part of what we look for.

  • What maintenance is required?

    Most grid-tied commercial systems require minimal scheduled maintenance — annual visual inspection and inverter firmware updates. O&M contracts with defined response times are available and recommended for systems over 100 kW. Monitoring is included in the first year on all new installations.

  • How accurate are production estimates?

    Our proposals use measured on-site irradiance data, actual roof geometry, and manufacturer-specific performance degradation curves. We track installed system performance against proposal estimates and report the variance annually — it is one of the ways we hold ourselves accountable to the numbers we put in front of clients.
