some of pulse solar's consultation services
Site Assessment:
Site review to see if the property is suitable for solar installation based on factors like location, orientation, shading, and available space.
Roof Analysis:
Assessing roof condition, angle, and material to ensure it can support solar panels.
Energy Audit:
Analysis of current energy consumption to understand usage patterns, what devices at the site are using the most power. Identify potential for solar energy integration. Identify energy efficiency improvements that could complement a solar installation.
Performance Simulations:
Using software we can predict solar system output under various conditions to optimize and design a custom system for maximum cost savings.
Cost-Benefit Analysis:
Calculate a return on investment, including initial costs, maintenance, and savings on utility bills.
Regulatory Compliance and Permitting:
Guide customers through the process of obtaining necessary permits and ensuring compliance with local building codes, zoning laws, and utility interconnection standards.
Vendor Selection:
Help you choose reputable manufacturers, make recommendations for parts, and accessories. Help ensure quality and warranty support for the solar equipment.
Installation Oversight:
We can oversee the installation process of other installers to ensure it aligns with the designed plan and quality.
Education and Training:
Education on how to operate and maintain solar systems, understanding energy usage better, and how to maximize benefits from solar energy.
Sustainability Consulting:
Advise on broader sustainability goals, like integrating solar with other green technologies or best practices.

Existing System Optimization:
Many solar systems have been installed and just turned on. We have found most of the existing systems out there are not working to their full potential.
We can use monitoring software or hardware to gather data on system performance in real time. We can then analyze this data to identify trends, inefficiencies, or drops in performance over time.
Once you're system has been reviewed by our engineers we may recommend some of the following:
Rearrangement or orientation of solar panels to maximize exposure to sunlight throughout the day.
Shading assessments to account for changes (like tree growth) that might now be affecting solar panel performance.
Advise or implement upgrades like microinverters, or optimizers that can handle partial shading better than traditional setups.
For systems with battery storage, we can optimize when energy is used, stored, or sold back to the grid. This can make a big difference in efficiency.
Making changes to account for seasonal variations in sunlight, many inverters can be programmed for different seasons.
Maintenance planning, setting up a schedule for maintenance to ensure longevity and efficiency of the solar system. Keeping those solar panels clean is important.
