Site visits
Installing solar panels on the roof is a popular practice, but not all roofs are created equal. A reliable assessment of the roof needs to be done to make sure it can safely bear the weight of solar panels. Other important tasks that are taken care of during site visits include:
- Identifying the best location for pole mounted solar panels.
- Examining and testing electrical wiring, panels, and other components of the electrical system. A home is going to have different power needs than a commercial or industrial site. Solar systems for public works projects may have to meet even different requirements.
- Determining how many panels are needed and the most efficient placement and positioning.
- For new construction projects, complete new electrical systems, including wiring, appropriate outlets, lighting fixtures, connections for HVAC systems, and appliances must be installed and tested. Electricraft is the best single-source for expert residential and commercial electrical engineering, electricians and solar installation.
