Every home is different, and every customer comes to us with their own set of concerns. That is why SunBug starts with a full on-site evaluation that takes into account building orientation, aesthetic concerns, and your current utility bill. We then design the optimal solar electric or solar thermal energy solution for you, factoring in all available rebates and incentives to maximize the system’s return on investment. Many factors go into our analysis, including:
The ideal roof slopes towards the south, but even if your roof is east or west facing, you can still get strong results. If you have a flat roof we can orient your panels to maximize efficiency.
For solar electric systems, panels should be installed so as to minimize shade from nearby trees or buildings. Luckily, we have methods to calculate shade obstruction and can design your system for maximum efficiency. Solar thermal systems are less sensitive to shade, and can be effective for most homes in New England.
It is important to design a properly sized array. We’ll look at how much you spend on electricity, domestic hot water or heating, and figure out the optimal size for your system.
