North Carolina is among the top states in the US with a high number of solar power installations for both commercial & residential properties.

Solar power installation is a perfect option for homeowners, non-profits, Self Storage Units, Poultry Farms, and commercial buildings who want to lower their energy bills. It will take between 6-8 years for a solar panel system to pay for itself. After this system pays for itself (in electric savings), you will enjoy free, cheap and reliable power for a long period of time.

Solar Panel Installation taken to the next level!

Solar PV systems are simple in theory and yet can be very complex to implement. Most installers focus only on two parts of the system when providing quotations - types of panels and type of inverters. They provide no details of balance of system components such as mounting feet, rail & sub-frame specifications, grounding & bonding details etc...  At 8MSolar, we take a more detailed approach to providing quotes. We list every single component in our proposal to provide our customers with complete confidence and knowledge that we are providing the best solutions.

Rails & Structure

Rails get installed on top of the mounting feet to provide a stable and solid base upon which solar panels are installed. 8MSolar uses IronRidge XR100 rails to provide a stable and robust platform to secure your system to your roof.

Important considerations when installing solar panels for your home in 2020

8MSolar provides residential solar power installation services from our headquarters in Cary, NC. We work with you to identify your unique energy requirements. Unlike other installers who are focused only on the sales process, 8MSolar actually looks at your month by month electricity usage to determine exactly what exact size system is needed.   Most utilities actually have a credit wipe out policy. Designing a solar system based on a "monthly average bill" is NOT a recommended method and leads to incorrectly sized solar installations. At 8MSolar, we avoid this "shortcut" and do not size systems based on this metric. Trust the engineers at 8MSolar to actually size your system based on your homes exact electricity usage profile and show you month by month savings.   We also offer solar panel system financing options to help you start your solar project.

Advantages of installing solar panels for your business

• Commercial Solar PV systems differ significantly from residential solar systems. At 8MSolar we approach commercial system design with an engineering first approach. When discussing commercial solar PV systems with 8MSolar, you will not be talking to a sales person, you will talk to actual licensed registered PEs (professional registered engineers) who have implement dozens of similar systems throughout the US
• This type of green energy solution is ideal for businesses and larger establishments. While the technical implementation is somewhat similar to residential systems, commercial solar system installations involve a much more in depth design process. All commercial solar panel systems above 50 kW require engineering approval from a licensed PE (8MSolar has this in-house). The permitting and interconnection processes are also different. Commercial systems that can back feed more than 15% of rated transmission line capacity almost always end up in "supplemental reviews" by utilities which adds 6-8 weeks to most large commercial systems
• 8MSolar also takes the time to properly dissect your current electricity bill, verifying the existing rate schedules your facility is on, and we generate the "return on investment" numbers based on your actual real world tiered bill rates. We do not use "blended rates" when calculating the financial impact of these systems because this artificially inflates the return on investment. We understand this is something not to be taken lightly and take all measures to produce accurate and verifiable production numbers. Our financial numbers can be taken to the bank, literally
• Furthermore, a very large portion, in some cases more than half the facilitys monthly electric bill is comprised of demand charges which are actually NOT offset by Solar. Solar power systems for commercial clients only reduce the kWh portion of the bill. Unlike other installers that use blended rates and miss this critical financial detail, 8MSolar will take the time to walk you through a step by step process to understand the real financial impact of these systems
• 8MSolar excels in implementation of commercial solar panel systems in North Carolina. Our engineers will take the time to properly design a system, show you a month by month expected offset and calculate the financial returns on your investment based on actual real world bill rates. We also use premier Tier 1 equipment that is compliant with the latest NEC 2017 rapid shutdown requirements for commercial installations.
