System Planning and Design
The key to a successful solar installation is to ensure your system is properly designed. There are many factors to consider when designing a solar system. Green Leaf Solar will take each factor into account to determine the best solution that suits your needs. Listed below are some the key parameters we take into consideration during our free site analysis:
- Insolation – How much sun is available in your geographic location
- Available square footage for solar installation.
- Tilt, angle and direction of mounting location.
- Type of roof or mounting surface
- Shading
- Present and future load demands
- Aesthetics
- Component location
- Length and location of wire runs
Given the parameters listed above it is important to understand that each situation is unique. Different design factors will determine different outcomes for each customer. Once a system has been designed to the specific needs of your situation Green Leaf Solar will begin the rebate and permitting process. Our experienced staff will take care of all the necessary paper work to reserve your rebate and ensure permit approval in a timely manner. Once your permit is approved through your local planning department installation will commence as soon as possible. Installation usually takes 2-5 days.

Solar for Business
There are many benefits to businesses that decide to invest in a solar electric system. These include lowering your overhead costs, long-term savings and hedging your business against rising utility rates. However, the benefits of solar systems for businesses extend far beyond the financial bottom line.
By investing in a solar system you are also investing in the future of the environment and the way the public perceives your business. More and more companies are discovering the marketing power of being perceived as a "green business". The driving force behind this marketing power is the growing number of consumers who base their buying decisions on the perceived environmental responsibility of the merchant. By switching to solar and reducing your carbon footprint your company will create long lasting financial, marketing, and environmental benefits.
Federal and state incentives also continue to help businesses invest in solar electric systems through the following methods:
- California State Incentives
- Federal Investment Tax Credits
- Accelerated 5-year depreciation
- Property Tax Exemption
Green Leaf Solar will take into account all design factors necessary to select a system tailored to the needs of your business. Contact us today to schedule a site visit and project analysis.
