Road to Zero - MSPD

Solar Workshop

A Zoom Solar Workshop with our company's founder Mark Becker.

The workshop consists of assessing what you would like to achieve from solar power, using your electrical account, your electrical supply and your suitable solar roof space shown on the city map viewer.

As part of the process, he will take you through a real-time live example of his solar power system showing zero electricity account, zero power interruptions and how this is easily managed and monitored.

During the workshop, you will be educated on the various types of solar panels, inverters, battery technologies and their efficiencies. A budgetary costing of the most efficient solar power system for you.

Computerized model showing seasonal solar output variations for your location with an interactive cost vs return model.

Going through this workshop will leave you with a much better understanding of solar power systems and the most efficient solar option for you.

Solar Site Assessment

Our technical manager will visit you at your home to assess your needs further.

He will photograph your roof for our solar 3D Model, check your roof type i.e. slate, tile, kliplok, chromadek, corrugate for what clamps are needed for your solar panel installation. Confirm your electrical supply, check the electrical distribution board and meter.

Discuss a suitable inverter and battery position along with any other site-specific requirements.
