Feasibility - Free preliminary study
GSC conducts an assessment of cleints properties to determine the viability of the site, as well as potential locations and system sizes; and will take note of any structures, trees or other issues that may impact the design or performance of the system.
Comprehensive - Feasibility study
GSC's solar experts conduct a full on-site assessment to determine how solar power would work with the property.
Grasshopper Solar analyze's the impact of the skyline on various locations, keeping future developments and seasonal changes into account. GSC also considers the structural components of the system, such as roof capacity and wiring, providing a comprehensive report and offer a quote for the development of the solar project.
Financial modelling
As part of the feasibility study, GSC performs a detailed financial analysis to project the system’s economics. Grasshopper Solar compares several potential locations, system sizes and system configurations to maximize performance, and provide clients with the costs, panel productivity and estimated returns on investment (ROI).
Design & Engineering
System design
GSC specifies the system’s components, including the quantity, make and structure of the system. GSC ensures that it is in compliance with government and FIT regulations, OPA’s domestic content requirements, Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) and all building codes.
Installation & Commissioning
Installation
How well is the cleint system is installed can greatly affect its performance. That’s why GSC carefully select thier installation team to ensure the cleints system is assembled and connected properly. Commissioning At this point, we connect your system to the grid and inspect its performance. Safety is our largest concern, and we make sure that the system is approved by the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) and proper authorities.
Ongoing Support
Maintenance
Post-installation, our team is available to you to inspect the panels and other components, test the system’s output, and service your system over the course of its warranty. So that you get the technical support you need, our dedicated customer service team is available normal work hours, as well as evenings and weekends.
System monitoring
We can maintain a record of your system’s energy production to analyze your electrical contribution, CO2 reduction and financial savings. Our monitoring software keeps a record of performance trends so we can see how to continually optimize your energy output. We pride ourselves on finding you the highest return on investment for your solar power system. With this goal in mind, we provide meticulous system design, source high-performance equipment at market-leading prices (see our GS SeriesTM), and work to ensure the high profitability of your system
