Solar Energy Consulting & Feasibility Studies
ELIOS Solar has more than 10 years of solar industry experience.
We know how to plan and build efficient and reliable solar power systems and we accurately project both expenses and ROI to minimize risk and uncertainty.
During the feasibility stage, our goal is to determine if your project is buildable and financeable. Feasibility studies are the foundation upon which all subsequent stages are determined. Working with experienced solar professionals can save you development capital.
Our client-centric approach starts with the customer’s definition of goals and expectations. Once we know where you want to end up, we can customize our approach to get you there. We will work with you to get the reports and deliverables you need to evaluate the project potential.
ELIOS Solar’s feasibility services include the following:
- Investigation of goals
- Material Recommendations
- Energy Usage Analysis
- Cost Estimate
- Site Analysis
- Project Finance Options
- System Layouts
- Project Finance Recommendations
- Cash Flow Analysis
- Technology Cost Comparisons
- Production Analysis
- Potential Challenges
- Environmental Impact
- Mechanical Constructability
- Logistics
- Risk Mitigation
- Technology Analysis
Solar Systems Design and Engineering
Our engineers specify every element of your solar generation system from modules and inverters to mounting base, grounding systems and monitoring software. They also analyze data from existing projects and several national resource centers in order to account for weather patterns, local climates and shading that can affect your installation’s energy production.
A complete solar installation design means:
Sound Concept & Technology – We will develop a design concept that delivers the lowest lifetime cost of energy. The concept will include the selection of technology, structural support, mechanical elements, and electrical interconnection.
Quality & Reliability – Every design we produce is evaluated by a rigorous multi-step review process.
Value Engineering – We take a holistic approach to solar design and keep your entire construction project in mind to mitigate construction risks and save you money by working with your architects and general contractors early on.
Client Needs – We apply our expertise to adapt to your concerns-whether they’re aesthetics, economics or risk-and build your solar power installation with your goals in mind.
Solar Product Evaluation
With no agendas or incentives to push one product over another, we can evaluate the best technologies and only use proven products that are backed by solid financials and comprehensive quality controls.
The ELIOS Solar Engineering Team (ISET) serves as an internal system of quality control for every solar technology, design, and installation we use and perform. The group is staffed with some of the most experienced engineers in the industry, who employ a sophisticated product approval process to evaluate new products and technologies.
Some of the factors the ISET Group uses to evaluate solar equipment are:
- Efficiency – How much energy will the product produce?
- Price – What is the lifetime cost per kWh?
- Field track record – Has this product been used in the field and how has it performed?
- Warranty terms – How long is this product under manufacturer warranty? What are the exceptions to the warranty? How do you define defective?
- Supplier financials – How stable is the company guaranteeing this product?
- Manufacturing tolerances – What’s the range of efficiency we can expect from this product?
- Site compatibility – Are there any limitations to where this product can be used? Is it better to use in a specific climate or with a specific type of mount?
