Solar and backup power

Power equipment should match the property.

We design rooftop solar, ground mounts, battery systems, generator systems, and off-grid projects.

Three ways to place the array.

The roof, available land, electrical service, shade, and future plans affect the mounting choice.

Rooftop

Solar panels mounted on a suitable roof with the electrical equipment planned for the property.

Ground mount

A separate array placed on the property when roof space or roof conditions make another location more practical.

Specialized structure

Solar integrated with a gazebo, patio, carport, or another purpose-built structure.

The loads determine the backup system.

The equipment choice follows the circuits, appliances, tools, or business operations that matter during an outage.

Battery backup

Stored power for selected loads or a larger portion of the property.

UPS systems

Short-term protection for equipment that cannot tolerate an interruption.

Generators

Briggs and Stratton generator options for longer outages and larger loads.

The load calculation comes first.

We total the expected electrical loads and recommend a system sized for the way the property will be used.

Gazebos, patios, and EV carports.

Gazebos, patios, and EV carports can provide shade, vehicle cover, solar mounting space, or charging access.
