SolSource Consulting

As a player at the center of the green building-clean energy industry, SolSource appreciates the challenges clients face in sorting through the myriad of product options and selecting the most appropriate choice for a particular need. In the pre-build, design phase of a project, SolSource is involved in helping builders, developers and homeowners weigh the economic and energy-savings benefits of specific products or technologies. By asking such questions as: what percentage of the building’s energy needs should be powered by solar; how visible is the system from the street; what are the zoning considerations; and of course, what is the budget for the project? SolSource is able to provide a well-conceived design program well in advance of the ground breaking. 

This process involves meeting with the client over a period to time to review architectural and engineering drawings, site plans, and potential structural (wind and weight loading) considerations. This review helps to inform the project manager of potential obstacles (such as positioning of air vents on the roof), so that the system installation will maximize solar gain. We also meet with the general contractor, to establish how the system will be incorporated into the broader project schedule. For developers considering renewable energy options for their projects, SolSource is the one-stop shop for engineering, design and energy modeling analysis.
