4 Steps to Conducting Commercial Solar Assessment

To use the renewable energy source in a most efficient manner it is essential to conduct assessment programs commercial solar assessment in Melbourne by appointing experienced consultants. The consultants must have a thorough knowledge in the areas like solar PV development and residential solar PV. Such services are mainly provided to the government, utilities and large organizations and also to solar farm developers. 

In general the solar PV experts conduct the commercial solar assessments and commercial solar PV assessments. They also provide useful and independent advices on optimum utilization of the solar PV systems and to maximize the electricity consumption in a site and to help maintain an overall balance.

Steps of commercial solar assessments are discussed below:
  • Solar Resource Assessment: The solar recourse assessments are conducted by collecting solar resource information from various solar isolation sites.

  • Electricity Bill Analysis: The consultants review the electricity bill of recent 12 months to check the electrical demand of the definite site. They collect the accurate information about the energy consumption data to determine the ratio of solar electricity that is consumed by the definite site. This information helps in financial case of a solar installation.

  • Solar Roof and Structural Assessment: In order to identify the roof type and the obstacles a detailed assessment of the roof is conducted by visiting the site and by analyzing the satellite imageries. Highly experienced structural engineers are appointed to carry out the detailed solar PV structural assessments of the site or building. Such assessments are required to confirm whether the proposed solar installation is suitable or not.

     
  • Solar shading Analysis: This procedure is conducted to identify the shade obstacles on a roof top of a building. The experienced analysts use special sketching software which assists in producing solar array layouts and designs. The time of such analysis will vary according to the seasonal changes. 

These are some of the important steps that are followed while conducting commercial solar assessments.
