Your company or organization has decided to move forward with a rooftop solar project or series of projects. You’ve researched the commercial rooftop market and selected YSG Solar as your commercial rooftop company of choice. What happens next?
As a leader in the commercial rooftop solar industry, YSG Solar understands the importance of working methodically. That’s why we utilize a step-by-step process that accounts for every detail, from initial assessments to system maintenance. The YSG Solar process begins with development stage planning, including securing engineering and construction documents. When all initial planning requirements have been satisfied, our team moves on to the building stage. The final stage is maintenance. Throughout this process, our team maintains communication, when possible, with the original roofing manufacturers and installation contractors.
Step I: Development Stage Planning
The work done during this stage serves to answer crucial questions about structural capacity, electrical infrastructure, and other rooftop requirements that will affect your project. YSG Solar engineers offer specialized site visualization and energy production modeling for clients and investors. We use our extensive commercial rooftop solar industry knowledge to assess roofing and membrane requirements, and whether your building’s roof can support a PV array. When needed, we report on interconnection options and costs. This is also the stage where YSG secures permits and draws up construction documents. As always, we take into account any client concerns and preferences.
Step II: Building
YSG is one of a handful of commercial rooftop solar companies that offers in-house engineering and construction to ensure a smooth, interconnected project. The building stage for a commercial rooftop solar project begins with an initial site evaluation, equipment selection, and ROI report. Our construction and engineering teams also work together to address any permitting issues. Working according to the approved construction documents, builders smoothly mobilize the job site, calculating any client needs, such as power outage times, into the scheduling. YSG job sites utilize highly-skilled superintendents to ensure optimal organization, efficiency, and safety.
Step III: Maintenance
When deciding on a commercial rooftop solar company, you want a group that will provide support throughout the lifetime of your rooftop solar array. That means they may need to stick with you for 25 to 30 years. At YSG we are adamant about the importance of proper maintenance to ensure our clients enjoy the maximum potential and estimated ROI of their rooftop solar project. Recognized by the commercial rooftop solar industry, YSG’s independent commissioning and benchmarking services help ensure clients’ rooftop PV systems operate at the highest performance levels.YSG also offers asset management, which includes monitoring, corrective maintenance, and array cleaning.
