Solar Design Service

You provide the house and the equipment list. We handle panel placement, electrical design, full layout, and permit-ready plan set. Premium tier — for installers who want to hand off design entirely and get a submittal-ready package back in 24 hours.

What’s Included

Full-scope design from a complete intake. NABCEP PV Design Specialist behind every plan set.

Panel Placement & Layout

Roof analysis, shading consideration, setback compliance, and module layout optimized for system production and AHJ requirements.

Electrical Design

String sizing, conductor sizing, OCPD selection, single-line diagrams, equipment schedules. Designed to NEC and to the equipment manufacturer’s spec.

Permit-Ready Plan Set

Site plans, single-line, structural details, equipment schedules, code-required labels and notes. Delivered as a complete AutoCAD package ready for submittal.

You Provide House + Equipment

Site address, photos (roof, MSP, meter), and your equipment list. We do the rest. The 24-hour turnaround clock starts when intake is complete.
