Solving complex challenges, ensuring optimum performance

Solar Direct is the renewable market's premiere one-stop source for a wide spectrum of products and services

• System Engineering; Generating real world engineering
  solutions for renewable energy projects requires years of
  real world experience, with hands-on knowledge of several
  engineering disciplines, all paramount in the design of high
  functioning systems. Solar Direct’s engineering philosophy
  focuses on the methods needed to solve complex challenges
  utilizing superior design performance, not simply finding the
  easiest way out of a client’s problem.
  
  
  
• Project Management; Successfully executing a residential
  customer’s complex “dream project” or massive government
  installations requires not only meeting the overall goals and
  commitment to each client, but being able to consistently adapt to rapidly changing situations. Even highly accurate one-time planning will never be able to anticipate all of the
  unforeseen problem-solving needed for smooth installations.
  Solar Direct has years of experience over a wide scope of
  applications, coupled with a lean, agile mind-set that can
  quickly and safely adjust to each problematic challenge
  encountered, ensuring optimum performing projects.
  
  
  
• Consultation & Analysis; Renewable technology is relatively
  straightforward in its function, but installation can be complex,
  and proper design and setup of the actual mechanisms are
  always critical to ensure optimum performance that responds
  to customer requirements.
  
  Solar Direct offers pre-engineering consultation for major
  systems to help eliminate the impediments to performance,
  functionality, or installation before costly construction work-arounds are necessary.
  
  Solar Direct also offers post-installation diagnostic analysis
  of major systems for other parties' low-performing, damaged,
  or improperly installed products. Highly competent engineers
  and technicians provide assessment as to why the system design or components are not operating properly or have failed, and explain in writing using simple, easy to understand
  terms. After an engineering audit of the design, materials,
  manufacturing, maintenance received, and their contribution
  to low-performance or failure, a common sense evaluation
  will provide a plan for recovery of performance.
  
  
  
• Product Installations; Solar Direct’s certified level of service
  assures minimal disruption at the customer’s home or client's
  business - with our tradesmen working in a clean, friendly,
  courteous, and safe manner.
  
  Solar Direct’s team of professional installation technicians
  comply with state and local laws regarding licenses, insurance
  and bonding, plus all work is performed not only to industry
  standards, but is also based on Solar Direct’s established set
  of Company Values, ensuring customer satisfaction.
  
  Solar Direct covers all installations with One-year Contractor Labor Warranties, and offers special discounted rates on
  selected installations.
  
  Solar Direct provides professional installation services for
  an extensive selection of products all available online at the Energy SuperMarket, including; Solar Pool Heaters, Electric Heat Pump Pool Heaters, Gas Pool Heaters, Solar Water Heaters, and Solar Electric Systems.
  
  Installation service availability varies in relationship to travel
  distance required and the scope of project; each project is
  determined on a case-by-case basis.
  
  Residential installations will be considered with-in the area
  of the Southeast United States. Installation services for major
  projects are available throughout North, Central, and South
  America, or worldwide when negotiable.
  
  
  
• Product Service & Repair; When it comes to the maintenance
  or restoration of renewable energy products, customers trust
  Solar Direct's seasoned craftsmen. Years of experience
  combined with a unique knowledge of alternative technology and equipment assures a consistently high quality of service
  and workmanship, plus the cost savings that direct access to
  factory parts and supplies affords.
  
  Solar Direct’s renewable systems have been designed
  and installed to require minimal maintenance, but as with any
  mechanical device, they will require routine and periodic
  maintenance, plus the repair or replacement of sun, wind, or
  freeze damaged components. Solar Direct offers preventive
  maintenance; annual inspections and adjustments; trouble
  shooting of system malfunctions within the mechanical and
  electrical components; re-roofing system removal and
  replacements; photovoltaic array or solar collector, control
  unit, sensor, valve, vent, and circulation pump replacements;
  storage tank replacements; roof-mounting penetration and
  system leak sealing; and general repair services for most
  solar hot water systems, solar and heat pump pool heating
  systems, and solar electric power systems.
  
  Whether it's replacing several residential solar pool heating
  panels, or trouble-shooting a large commercial photovoltaic
  system, you can count on Solar Direct to complete each
  project restoration with professional, qualified service.
  
  Solar Direct’s service and repair sub-contractor technicians
  comply with state and local laws regarding licenses, insurance
  and bonding, plus support representatives can assist you with
  information regarding warranties, service contracts, and the
  status of projects. All work is performed not only to industry
  standards, but is also based on Solar Direct’s established set
  of Company Values, ensuring customer satisfaction.
  
  Service and Repair availability varies in relationship to travel
  distance required and the scope of project; each project is
  determined on a case-by-case basis.
  
  Residential Service and Repair will be considered with-in the
  area of the Southeast United States. Service and Repair for
  major projects are available throughout North, Central, and
  South America, or worldwide when negotiable.
  
  
  
• Energy Evaluations; Solar Direct offers energy experts who
  will audit eligible projects involving major commercial and
  industrial applications, providing a comprehensive review of
  energy usage that allows informed, cost-effective decisions.
  
  Solar Direct will provide certified energy advice, along with
  specific written recommendations on how to reduce utility costs, manage energy expenses, plus how to benefit utilizing
  federal and state incentives if applicable.
  
  Evaluations encompass a review of electrical power, fuel,
  natural/LP gas usage, and includes an historical consumption
  analysis, plus identifying cost-effective improvements and
  upgrades in building structure efficiency. Other critical factors
  include weather, regulatory requirements, improvement of
  comfort, health, and safety, and protection of environment.
  
  An estimate of energy consumption is broken down for space
  heating, water heating, appliances and lighting, providing the
  client with an accurate snapshot of usage.
  
  Appropriate times to evaluate are before the building of
  new facilities, during significant structural renovations or
  major upgrading of high energy use equipment, or following
  periods of elevated energy costs. If possible, evaluations
  should be considered well before the design process when
  budget constraints and future options are being discussed.
  
  Energy usage habits and operating procedure modification,
  with minimal or no capital investment, can often yield 5% to
  15% energy savings. A progressive retrofitting program
  often results in 15% to 30% savings.
  
  Solar Direct is committed to practicality throughout the
  energy evaluation; the goal being the development of plans and clear control strategies that are strictly justifiable for specifically defined cost-saving applications.
