Indiana and much of the Midwest are in excellent sunlight positions for solar panel arrays.
Solar photometric and photovoltaic analysis provides direction for new or future construction projects
If you’re thinking about solar or renewable energy systems, a solar photometric analysis and photovoltaic analysis is a great place to start.
In favorable conditions, many solar panel array owners can generate enough electricity to power all of their electrical needs and earn credits through various incentives and rebates. Larger solar arrays benefit from economies of scale that lower the cost of panels, increase the amount of energy produced, and reduce maintenance costs.
A solar photometric analysis measures light at your facility or build site. It can identify which of the various kinds of solar PV systems are most beneficial to your needs and location based on tree coverage, building shadows, and site placement.
A photovoltaic analysis, often done concurrently, analyzes how much electrical output a solar PV system can be expected to produce. Together, these valuable analyses can help you maximize your investment, eliminate a trial-and-error approach to system design, and give your team a documented baseline for construction costs, operating costs, and energy production.
Indiana’s best solar photovoltaic engineers can help you navigate the whole construction and design process
- R.E. Dimond and Associates engineers will analyze your site’s technical feasibility and assess existing infrastructure needs. We’ll recommend options for roof, ground, canopy, building, or wall-mounted systems and note challenges construction teams may experience.
- We’ll help you with all code, permitting, and environmental requirements. We can also help you with any local or utility requirements and identify technical and financial feasibility needs.
- We’ll provide recommendations for solar PV equipment. This includes inverters, panels, wiring, electrical protection,, circuit distributions, and more. All systems come fully documented.
- Solar PV simulations and estimates that help you plan ahead. Large solar PV systems can often pay for themselves in as little as ten years. Before construction begins, we’ll help model energy consumption and savings based on present and forecasted electrical usage.
Claim solar grants and rebates in Indiana and around the Midwest
Tax and rebate incentives vary by municipality and frequently change year-to-year. Our engineers can help you qualify for rebates, tax incentives, and utility system benefits as they exist today.
We can also help you qualify for any retroactive federal, state, or local incentives, should any become available.
