Illumination Solar Consulting

The success of solar photovoltaic systems for homes and businesses has had a profound impact on energy production and distribution. That success has also generated considerable push back from utilities who are seeing their business model become obsolete. As a result the IOU (Investor Owned Utility) industry has worked to slow down the adoption of customer owned distributed solar systems by creating complex and onerous interconnection agreements that confuse prospective buyers and cause mistakes that can be costly.

Business owners, who operate out of their homes, often make the mistake of installing a solar system behind their residential meter only to discover that the utility can switch that meter to a commercial one, AT THEIR DISCRETION, if you are conducting business at that location.

Business owners also make the mistake of installing one PV systems at their place of business and one system at their home when they could have installed a larger system it at their home for less money and credit the excess production to the business account saving the business hundreds of dollars per year.

It is for these reasons combined with our project management expertise that, in many situations, it is profitable to hire a project manager like ISC to oversee the installation so that costly mistakes are avoided. This is especially true when the client has multiple properties that they want to solarize.
