Assessment
We inspect the roof, structure, shade, electrical situation, energy goals, and the outage circuits you want a backup system to serve.
Solar & Batteries
Panels, storage, and roof integration
What we do and how
A solar array is only as durable as its attachment to the roof.
Request a site assessment →Every mount lands on structure and is flashed into the roof assembly with metal flashing woven under the course above it. Because we roof as well, the array and the roof under it carry one warranty. On the storage side we size batteries around the circuits you actually need during an outage.
Included in scope
- Site assessment and shade analysis
- System sizing and production modeling
- Rooftop photovoltaic installation
- Roof-integrated flashed mounting
- Inverter and monitoring setup
- Battery backup design and installation
An energy system begins with a roof detail that stays watertight.
The mounts, flashing, roof surface, wiring path, inverter, monitoring, and storage system are connected decisions. The visible panels are only one part of the system that has to perform reliably.
The energy system
The roof, array, controls, and backup plan work as one system.
01
Site and roof
We assess roof condition, available structure, orientation, shading, roof details, and the work required to support a long-term array.
02
Attachment and flashing
Each mount lands on structure and is flashed into the roof assembly so water is directed out rather than given a path beneath the roof surface.
03
Production and controls
Array size, inverters, monitoring, and electrical configuration are designed around the property, utility interaction, and production goal.
04
Backup plan
Battery storage is sized around the circuits and runtime you actually need during an outage, not a generic square-footage estimate.

Clear before anything is mounted.
Written scope
You see the array, roof-interface details, components, monitoring, storage plan, and related work included before permanent work starts.
Execution
Roof preparation, flashed mounting, electrical equipment, wiring paths, storage installation, and commissioning are sequenced before the job is underway.
Closeout
We review monitoring, system operation, relevant documentation, and the handoff so you understand what the system is designed to do.
System components
Components follow the property, roof, and energy goal.
PV modules
Panels are selected around available roof area, production goals, layout, electrical design, and the structure that supports the array.
Flashed mounting
Mounting hardware is installed into structure with metal flashing integrated into the roof assembly instead of relying on surface sealant alone.
Inverters and monitoring
Inverters, rapid shutdown equipment, and monitoring are configured so the system can be reviewed and operated with a clear record.
Battery storage
Storage and backup controls are sized around essential circuits, expected runtime, load, and the role you need the system to serve during an outage.
What determines the price of solar and battery work
The number follows the system.
A written solar and storage scope is built around the actual roof, structure, electrical equipment, energy goal, and backup requirement. Panel count is only one part of the job.
- Roof condition, available structure, access, orientation, and shade
- Array size, module type, layout, mounting, and flashed roof details
- Electrical panel condition, wiring path, interconnection, and required equipment
- Inverter, monitoring, rapid shutdown, and control configuration
- Battery capacity, critical loads, transfer equipment, and desired runtime
- Permitting, utility coordination, and documented commissioning requirements
What is included, and what is not
Scope boundaries are part of the work.
Included when required
- Documented roof, structure, or electrical conditions identified during the assessment or included as a defined contingency
- Roof-interface, mounting, monitoring, and backup details identified in the written scope
- Jobsite protection, cleanup, equipment handling, and commissioning stated in the proposal
- Photographs of relevant roof and mounting details before they are covered
Needs a written decision
- Conditions hidden until a roof, attic, electrical panel, or wall path is opened
- Related roofing, electrical service, structural, or utility work outside the stated scope
- Array, battery, panel, design, or equipment changes requested after the scope is accepted
- Separate work that does not belong to the documented energy system
Solar and battery questions
Get answers before you decide.
Can solar be installed on my existing roof?
That depends on roof age, condition, structure, available area, orientation, shade, and whether the roof details can support a long-term array correctly.
Why does roof integration matter for solar?
Every mount interrupts the roof surface. The attachment and flashing details determine whether water is directed out or given a path under the roof, which is why roofing knowledge belongs in the scope.
What can a battery keep running during an outage?
That depends on battery capacity, the circuits selected, actual load, and the runtime you need. The backup plan should be sized around those requirements rather than a generic promise.
Can I get an exact price without an assessment?
An exact scope needs the roof, structure, shade, electrical equipment, energy goal, backup loads, access, and any concealed conditions to be evaluated.
