RESIDENTIAL DETAILS

Developing a successful residential solar energy project involves several key steps that must be carefully planned and executed in order to ensure success. Solar Mason will follow the following process to develop a residential solar energy project:

​

• Assessment: Solar Mason will conduct a thorough assessment of the potential site, taking into account factors such as the availability of sunlight, the size of the roof or ground area, the electrical grid infrastructure, and any environmental or land-use restrictions.

​

• Feasibility Study: Solar Mason will conduct a feasibility study to determine the viability of the project and estimate the potential costs and benefits. This will involve evaluating the costs of equipment and installation, the expected energy production and savings, and any incentives or subsidies available.

​

• Permits and Approvals: Solar Mason will obtain the necessary permits and approvals from local, state, and federal agencies. This will include permits for land use, construction, and electrical connections.

​

• Design and Engineering: Solar Mason will work with a team of experienced engineers and designers to develop a detailed design for the project, taking into account factors such as the orientation and tilt of the solar panels, the electrical interconnection, and the structural requirements.

​

• Financing: Solar Mason will provide various financing options to its customers to help them finance their solar energy systems. This may include offering financing options such as purchasing the system outright, financing with a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC), or financing through a traditional solar energy finance company.

​

• Equipment Procurement: Solar Mason will purchase the necessary equipment for the project, which may include solar panels, inverters, and other components.

​

• Installation: Solar Mason will work with a team of experienced contractors to install the solar energy system, ensuring that all construction and installation standards are met.

​

• Commissioning and Operation: Upon completion of the project, Solar Mason will commission the system and begin operating it. This will involve monitoring the system's performance and making any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal performance.

​

• State and Federal Incentives: Solar Mason will work with the relevant agencies to obtain the state and federal incentives available for residential solar energy projects, including Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs). These incentives can help to reduce the costs of the project and increase its financial viability.

​

The benefits of solar energy for homes include lower energy bills, increased property value, and a reduction in carbon emissions. When a solar energy system is purchased outright or financed with a HELOC, homeowners are able to enjoy the benefits of solar energy without the added costs of financing through a traditional solar energy finance company, which can sometimes charge up to 30% of the total cost of the project.

​

By following this process, Solar Mason will be able to develop high-quality, sustainable residential solar energy projects that meet the needs of its customers. By carefully considering all of the key factors and following a rigorous process, Solar Mason will be able to ensure that its projects are successful and financially viable.
