SERVICES
Do you need power at your camp or cottage? Are you tired of continuously buying fuel for your noisy generator? Is the cost of bringing in grid power out of hand?
Flanagan and Sun offers an attractive alternative to power up your camp, cottage or home. Whatever renewable energy products and services you need, Flanagan and Sun can help you. We make it easy!
Our services include everything from the custom design of a system that will work for you – to the sales and installation of photovoltaic, solar thermal, wind energy and micro-hydro systems – to regulatory applications such as net metering.
Our professional portfolio showcases successful installations in both off-grid and grid-tied situations.
Assessment and Design
The first stage of implementing a renewable energy system is assessment and design. We will assess your particular needs and the suitability of various types of renewable energy in light of:
- energy usage pattern
- geographical location (for instance, hours of sunshine can vary depending on location)
- cost-benefit analysis
- environmental benefits
Assuming that a renewable system is appropriate, we can then size the system based on your total energy needs. The first step in determining what system best suits your needs is to consider all of the electrical loads that you are using or plan to use in the future.
Using an energy needs assessment tool (which can be found on our calculators page), we can determine your estimated average daily energy requirement (in kWh) and your peak power needs (in kW).
Knowing those two things allows us to size the battery bank and solar array, which then determines the rest of the components such as the charge controller, combiner boxes, racking system, wire sizes, and inverter.
Installation
Flanagan and Sun will professionally install your new energy system or upgrade your existing system. This can include solar thermal, photovoltaic, wind, and micro-hydro.
Consultation
If you are a do-it-yourselfer, and need some help along the way, Flanagan and Sun can be consulted for assistance. If you have purchased a system through us, we will provide support for you should questions arise about your solar panel system.
For example, if you are designing or building a new house that will be extremely energy efficient (such as a straw bale house), that is a different story.
Our resources page has some calculators and useful industry links to help you get started.
Please feel free to contact us and we would be happy to discuss it with you.
