Solar Panels
Capture sunlight and produce DC electricity.
Inverter / Battery
Converts DC to AC and stores energy if needed.
Disconnects
Safety equipment and code compliance.
Electrical Panel
Solar power is integrated into your home.
Your Home & Grid
Power your loads and export where applicable.
Simplified diagram. Hybrid and off-grid designs may add batteries, transfer equipment, generators and backup-load panels; actual configurations vary.
Sized from your actual usage
We size your system from your kWh data — not a rule of thumb.
Send a year of electric bills and we build your load profile: monthly and seasonal kWh, summer and winter peaks, overnight base load. Then we match that profile to your roof or ground site, your utility's rate plan and your electrical service, so the array, inverter and battery are sized to the power you actually use.
Size my system12 months of usage
Monthly kWh read from your bills or utility account, so seasonality is real.
Seasonal and future loads
Air conditioning, heating, EV charging, heat pumps, pool or shop equipment.
Site-specific production
Roof or ground layout, orientation, shading and New York sun hours.
Written production estimate
Expected output and the share of your usage you'd offset — numbers you can hold any bid against.
Battery analysis & backup planning
How many days can your batteries keep you powered?
We analyze your battery system to estimate days of autonomy — how long your selected loads can run during an outage. Your daily backup energy use, usable battery capacity, inverter limits and equipment starting loads guide our recommendations, whether you want essential-circuit backup or broader home coverage.
We compare a battery-only scenario with solar or generator recharging, and account for seasonal conditions and reserve settings. Backup duration is an estimate based on stated loads and conditions, not a promise of a fixed number of days.
Plan my battery backupCommercial batteries: backup and demand reduction.
For businesses and nonprofits, we consult on battery system design and analyze interval usage and utility rates to determine potential peak load demand reduction. We evaluate battery power, storage capacity and operating schedules while preserving the backup reserve your organization needs.
Commercial battery consultingThe whole path, explained
Most solar companies stop at the roof. We follow the power all the way in.
Panels & Racking
Equipment selection matched to your roof or ground site.
Design & Engineering
Layouts, single-lines and engineering coordination.
Inverters & Wiring
Conductor sizing, disconnects and code-compliant runs.
Service Panel

Inspection
Independent review before and after energization.
Verification
Performance checks against expected production.
Electrical construction experience
Your DIY project, backed by a real electrician.
The panel tie-in is where most DIY solar projects get stuck. Our electrical construction background means we can review your service, grounding and interconnection — or do that part for you — so you pass inspection the first time.
