Home Star Solar will balance many factors when designing your solar energy system.

There are three steps to this process:

Site Evaluation:  Our process starts with a site visit where we will discuss your expectations for power and for aesthetics.  Then we begin a site analysis, which includes evaluating physical location for the panels and electrical devices.  Just some of the design considerations we will be making on site include the condition of the roof, available square footage, the location of joists and type of roofing material, shading objects (trees, chimneys, etc), and access to roof and attic.

Design:  The next step is performed at our offices.  Our NABCEP certified system designers will draw up a complete physical and electrical package.  This will balance the available space, requested power output and aesthetics that we discussed during the site evaluation.  Then the designer will run a report (using  insolation data from the government) that calculates how much power you can expect each month from your system. 

Proposal:  We then put together a complete proposal for you to review.  We will initially e-mail to you to allow some time to review it.  Then we will follow up with a second meeting to discuss any questions or make any adjustments you may want.
