Solar Design
This resource is part of the Solar-Clips series which explores various tips and tools for working with solar photovoltaics. An overview is given on how to perform a load assessment of your electrical use, as well as a site assessment of the local solar resource, including a shade analysis. By reviewing this resource, you will be able to size and design a solar electric system for your site to achieve optimal performance.
