1 The Site Visit
Our design process begins with an assessment of your renewable energy potential. We’ll review the orientation of your home to the sun and take measurements for designing an optimal system for your needs. The site visit also allows us to provide an in-depth overview of renewable energy, how it might best integrate into your existing energy system, and what financial incentives may be available to you.
2 Load Analysis
Once we determine how much energy your household uses for various applications, as well as any daily and seasonal variations in consumption, we’ll be able to identify which technologies and what size system will best serve your needs.
3 Preliminary Design & Estimate
Based on the site visit and load analysis, Sundance will provide a variety of initial design options which include:
• Analysis of renewable energy available on your site
• Conceptual drawing
• Estimated costs
• Estimated timelines associated with the project
4 Design Review
After delivering the initial designs, we’ll schedule a time to review your system options. Our design review delivers a detailed analysis of your renewable energy system and the financial considerations of the project. Together, we will look at the overall system concept, along with performance and financial models, including:
• Applicable state and federal incentives
• Projected energy production
• Electricity and REC sales revenues
• Out-of-pocket cost, cash flow, and ROI analysis
5 Final Design Detail & Proposal
Using the results of our collaborative design review, we will fine-tune your system design and associated estimate to produce a detailed proposal. Your proposal will include:
• System design drawing
• Estimate of cost
• Financial and performance reviews
• Copies of Sundance policies associated with the project
