Our work
Every roof has its own constraints. These fictional demo projects show how we think through them: shade, historic rules, flat membranes, and first-time owners.

Residential, east/west layout
Low-pitch shingle roof, east/west arrays, shade-aware layout.
A low-pitch roof and a mature oak on the south side meant the usual south-facing layout was off the table. We split the array east and west so production spreads across the day instead of peaking at noon.
Residential with battery, historic district
Historic district constraints, discreet conduit, evening backup.
Historic guidelines limited what could be visible from the street, so the array went on the rear-facing planes and conduit was routed inside where the structure allowed. The battery covers evenings and outages for the circuits the family cares about most.
Commercial, flat roof
Flat membrane, ballast mounts, production for daytime load.
A flat membrane roof calls for ballasted mounts that do not penetrate the roofing. The building runs most of its load during the day, so the array is sized to match daytime demand rather than to cover every kilowatt-hour.
Residential, first-time solar owners
Tree-lined lot, microinverters, monitoring for first-time owners.
The owners wanted to understand what they were buying more than they wanted the biggest system. We used microinverters so each panel reports on its own, and spent the handoff walking through the monitoring app until it felt ordinary.
They walked us through sizing without the hard sell. Our bill dropped the first full month.
Clear timeline, clean install, and monitoring that actually makes sense on my phone.
We added battery later. Same crew, same care. Feels like a neighborhood shop, not a franchise.
