If you are thinking of using solar technology for electricity, we recommend a solar site analysis as a first step. During the solar site evaluation, our staff will take a site specific look at your home or property's potential to produce electricity with solar energy.

Let Us Show You How to Best Generate Solar Power at Your Site

Sustainable Future will conduct a solar PV site evaluation for $100 plus mileage. If you decide to purchase a solar PV system from Sustainable Future, the $100 site visit evaluation fee will be applied to any system purchase within 90 days of your site visit.

We will use a solar pathfinder to identify the best site or sites to install photovoltaic panels. You may wish to consider a pole-mounted system or a roof-mounted array. For a roof mounted system, we'll check the orientation of the building (solar will perform best when facing true south and tilted at latitude; however most sites are not perfect). Here in East Tennessee this means that you want your panels to face south at approximately 35 degrees. We'll also check for any trees, buildings or other structures that could shade the equipment in the chosen location. We'll plug your site specific data into our software (including any trees or buildings that may shade panels), and generate a report for you showing how much power you can expect to produce with solar at the chosen location. You can use this information to maximize performance for your future system. This visit generally takes about an hour.
