PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM DESIGN AND CONSULTING SERVICES
–
We design photovoltaic systems that take advantage of the latest technological developments. This includes high-efficiency modules, advanced inverter technologies, integrated battery storage, and system performance optimization software.
We also strive to put the “art” in solar design. Whether the panels are attached to a building’s envelop or integrated into the wall or roof construction itself, modern photovoltaic modules can provide for a visually interesting feature or design element. Advancements in PV technology have opened-up new frontiers in solar aesthetics – colors, patterns, or various transparencies.

SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN
We design multi-family developments, single-family residences, and assisted living care facilities.
Our goal is to design buildings that are energy efficient, utilize sustainable materials, and are attractive. This includes incorporating high-performance building envelopes, high-efficiency mechanical and electrical systems, and smart controls. Utilizing on-site power generation provided by photovoltaic (PV) systems can further reduce a building’s operational carbon footprint. Recent advancements in PV technology mean that PV systems now have the potential to be multi-colored, transparent, or visually textured elements that can be an attractive addition to a building’s exterior.
