Frequently Asked Questions

How do you price your solar pv systems?

Our prices may be slightly higher than our competitors and equipment sellers, but it is due to our exhaustive quality assurance process. When you approach us for an assessment, our engineers and design crew will perform a site visit to ensure they have accurate details of your installation location before even handing you a price or a proposal. Through the design phase, we will identify all concerns from integrity of roof, placement risks to shade analysis as we do not condone quoting a system that is just based off dividing available surface area.
