Storage starts with a goal

Backup loads and system design, ahead of broad promises about energy independence.

A site visit from Daylight goes further when the house has already been read: where the problems show, how the rooms are used, what has been tried.

What to have ready for the visit.

Have your plans or a recent survey, photographs of the areas that concern you and a note of past repairs. We measure and photograph on the day, and the written proposal that follows is only as specific as what we saw.

A RESIDENTIAL SOLAR PLANNING CHECKLIST
  1. Which plans, photographs or past quotes should I share before the visit?
  2. Who needs to be at home while you measure?
  3. What arrives in writing, and when?

Put this perspective into practice.

Each guide below covers what the service involves and the questions worth bringing to your site assessment.

Home energy

Battery storage

Home batteries sized to the loads you want to keep running, integrated with solar or installed on their own.

  • What should the site assessment and written scope establish for battery storage?
  • How do roof condition, shading, usage and utility interconnection affect the proposed design?
  • Which production assumptions, tariff terms, incentives, financing costs and battery limitations need independent verification?

  • What should the site assessment and written scope establish for rooftop solar?
  • How do roof condition, shading, usage and utility interconnection affect the proposed design?
  • Which production assumptions, tariff terms, incentives, financing costs and battery limitations need independent verification?

EV charging integration

Level 2 EV chargers installed and set to charge from your solar when the sun is out, with the panel capacity checked first.

  • What should the site assessment and written scope establish for EV charging integration?
  • How do roof condition, shading, usage and utility interconnection affect the proposed design?
  • Which production assumptions, tariff terms, incentives, financing costs and battery limitations need independent verification?
