If your home or property meets these minimum qualifications, you are an excellent candidate for going solar.
- You own the property (Single family home, commercial, non-profit Organizations).
- If you pay $100+ in your monthly electricity bill.
- Little or no shade on the area designated for solar installation
- Good sun exposure between 9 am – 4 pm.
- You think green and the future of your children/generations to come is important to you.
- You live in areas where the cost of extending power lines to your home is more expensive than buying a solar energy system.
A more detailed analysis of your property, your current and future energy needs and other important criteria such as the ones listed below will also determine whether a solar system is suitable for your property.
If your property’s roof faces only towards the north, you are not a good candidate for solar. In these cases, Cyrus Contractors Inc. professionals will install reverse-tilt racking system that will position your solar panels towards the South.
Ensure there are no shade from neighboring trees or structures on your roof that may affect the solar power system performance. Cyrus Contractors Inc. will generate a detailed shade analysis which will help you better understand the impact of shade on your solar system.
You may be required to stand by some rules if your single-family home is managed by a homeowners’ association, but by law, the HOA cannot stop you from going solar.
In case you own an older home, the amperage of your electrical panel may require an upgraded to handle the maximum solar power system size that can be installed.
If your property is located in an area that receives more layers of clouds, it may require a slightly larger system than needed to generate the same amount of energy. Our professionals will design your solar power based on the peak sun hours at your property.
If installed on the roof, your roof must be in good enough condition to support the solar panel system. In case your roof is older than 10 years, Cyrus Contractors Inc. will send out a roofing inspector to determine if the roof can withstand a solar power system.
