Understand your electricity use
Collect recent electricity bills and, where available, interval consumption data. Demand patterns help establish how generation might fit the way your facility operates.
Take stock of your site
Record the available roof or land area, building use and any known constraints. Photographs and drawings can support an initial discussion; they do not replace a site or structural assessment.
Set your priorities
Consider whether your priority is owning an asset, procuring electricity or using available space more effectively. Share your expected operating horizon and planned changes to the facility.
Define the next step
Ask for a clear assessment scope, design assumptions and the information needed for a detailed proposal. A useful estimate should explain both its inputs and its limits.
