How to size a system (plain English)
Solar size (kW DC)
- Based on annual kWh usage (not just summer)
- Roof space + shading + orientation
- Future loads: EV, pool, electrification
Battery size (kW + kWh)
- kW = what you can run at once (power)
- kWh = how long you can run it (runtime)
- Start with “must stay on” and build from there
If you want A/C in an outage plan, we design it realistically: what tonnage/zone, what runtime, and what else can run at the same time.
Get a Metairie solar + storage plan
Send your electric bill(s) and tell us your goal: lower bills, backup power, or both.
If you’ve had storm-related outages, tell us what failed you last time—food loss, A/C, internet, medical needs—so we build for it.
Helpful attachments: electric bills, main panel photo, roof overview, and your outage priorities (what must stay on).
