The process of installing solar panels for solar energy is a long one. To start things off, a feasibility assessment must be carried out.
What Is Site Feasibility Assessment?
This is the process of evaluating whether a project will be successful or not.
The process enables one to test the practicability of a project before moving to the execution phase. Understand that the feasibility assessment is different and unique depending on the type of project. Also, this analysis process can be overwhelming and you may need an experienced company to handle it for you.
For example, for the installation of residential solar energy, you can contact Advance Solar & Energy. We will deploy our solar experts to help with the required site feasibility assessment.
They will ensure that your project will be successful.
What Is A Solar Energy Feasibility Assessment?
The process of analyzing whether the installation of residential solar energy is technological and financially viable.
The assessment makes it possible to identify any obstacles in the early stage before installing solar panels.
There are several factors to consider during the assessment such as cost, energy storage potential, and location among others.
Even when you hire a solar company to assess you, it’s important to have basic knowledge about the project. Try educating yourself on the local regulations, compatibility of solar equipment, and the project’s financing.
Here Are A Few Areas To Consider Before Installing Solar Panels:
Background Check
Understanding the background of the solar energy project is important. Try going through the owners’ goals and needs, as it helps in the designing process.
For example, after a background check, you will know whether or not the solar panel will need a solar battery bank.
Site Selection
Location can affect the solar energy system’s performance, installation, and maintenance costs.
Therefore before installing residential solar energy, you should first identify where it will be placed within the property. There are two kinds of solar energy projects, a ground-mounted solar and a roof solar installation.
For the ground-mounted solar, it needs to be installed in a position-raised location where it can access ample sunlight.
While for a roof solar the roof should be in perfect condition and far from shade from trees.
Technology
As part of the assessment, there will be recommendations on ranking, battery storage equipment, and solar PV panels.
As you already know a site’s condition may influence the type of solar energy panel to be installed.
For instance, a ranking system is perfect for low roof solar installation. It helps to evenly distribute the weight of the solar panel.
Financial Analysis
Financial analysis helps in assessing the cost of the solar energy installation project.
The owner will determine whether they’ll self-fund or they will need assistance to finance the project.
Moreover, a company should educate the owner about the federal financial incentives that are available after installing the panels.
These incentives include solar energy tax or solar energy credit and first-year depreciation deductions.
A solar energy credit helps by earning credit to your income taxes. This helps in lowering your tax bills.
