Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a photovoltaic installation. A method may include determining a method of interconnection to couple a photovoltaic system to an electrical system of a structure based on site survey information. The method may also include determining an ideal usage offset ratio for the photovoltaic system based on at least some of the site survey information. Further, the method may include estimating, via the electronic device, a number of modules required to meet the determined ideal usage offset ratio. Moreover, the method may include generating a roof plan based on at least a portion of the site survey information, the roof plan including an illustration of each roof section of the roof. Furthermore, the method may include approving or rejecting the photovoltaic system based on a comparison of the estimated production levels and the required production levels. Associated systems are also described.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a photovoltaic installation process. A process may include determining a method of interconnection to couple a photovoltaic system to an electrical system of a structure. The process may further include determining an ideal usage offset ratio for the photovoltaic system based on a known utility rate associated with the structure. Moreover, the process may include estimating a number of modules required to meet the determined ideal usage offset ratio. In addition, the process may include generating a roof plan based on at least a portion of the site survey information, the roof plan including an illustration of each roof section of the roof. The process may also include and one of approving and rejecting the photovoltaic system based on a comparison of estimated production levels and required production levels.
