The solar journey

See how a solar system comes together.

Follow the process from the first property assessment through system design, installation, testing and ongoing monitoring. This short 3D presentation explains each stage in a clear, visual way.

Start with usage, not equipment.

Panel count, battery capacity and inverter size depend on different parts of your energy profile. A proper design considers monthly energy, simultaneous loads, motor starting currents, desired backup time, roof conditions and expansion plans.

  • Residential and commercial assessments
  • Hybrid and off-grid systems
  • Lithium battery backup
  • PV string and protection planning
  • ATS and generator integration
  • Monitoring, maintenance and upgrades

What customers should expect

Realistic savings: savings depend on daytime usage, available sunlight, system size, tariffs and how energy is managed.

Backup power: battery duration depends on the connected load. Heavy loads shorten runtime.

Maintenance: panels, connections, protection devices, batteries and monitoring should be inspected periodically.

Clear limits: a system cannot support unlimited appliances simply because the battery is charged.

Preliminary estimator

Two ways to size your solar system.

Start with the kWh on your JPS bill, or build an appliance list to estimate daily energy and peak load.

Choose your starting point
JPS bill details

Enter electricity consumed in kWh, not the dollar amount. Use the number of days covered by that bill.

Your bill sizes the solar array. Enter a known simultaneous peak load to estimate the inverter, or use appliance mode. Daily kWh alone cannot determine peak kW.

Solar conditions & panels

Peak sun hours are equivalent full-sun hours, not daylight hours. The default 4.5 hours is an editable starting assumption.

This is a preliminary estimate. A site assessment confirms equipment selection and starting surges.

Frequently considered

Three different sizing questions.

How many panels?

Panels are mainly sized from your monthly energy use, sunlight, available roof space and the percentage of the bill you want to offset.

How many batteries?

Batteries are sized from the appliances you want backed up and how many hours you expect them to run.

What inverter size?

The inverter must handle the combined power of appliances running at the same time, including motor-starting surges.
