Solar Feasibility Assessment
Preliminary evaluation of property parameters, solar access, energy load alignment, and early project risk factors before committing capital.
Preliminary Site & Technical Evaluation
Before investing time and resources into formal contractor bidding, property owners must answer fundamental questions: Does your roof or ground area have sufficient unshaded solar access? How does your building's electricity demand profile align with solar generation curves? What utility policy rules apply to your property location?
Orivanta Energy LLC provides preliminary solar feasibility assessments that organize critical property data into an objective, executive-level overview.
Our feasibility review identifies baseline physical, operational, and regulatory parameters, highlighting potential challenges early so your organization can approach solar vendors with clear expectations.
Primary Evaluation Factors
- Property & Roof Type: Membrane, metal, tile, or ground-mount availability.
- Solar Access & Shading: Roof orientation, parapet walls, HVAC obstructions.
- Historical Energy Profile: Monthly kWh usage and peak kW demand.
- Utility Considerations: Serving utility rate tariffs and net metering policies.
What Our Feasibility Assessment Reviews
Key factors evaluated during an independent consulting review.
1. Available Space & Layout
Evaluating usable roof square footage or available ground area, factoring in setbacks, pathways, and HVAC equipment spacing.
2. Shading & Orientation
Reviewing south/west roof orientations, tilt angles, surrounding trees, adjacent buildings, and roof structures.
3. Usage & Demand Profile
Analyzing 12–24 months of client-supplied electric bills to determine baseline consumption and peak operational hours.
4. Utility Policy Baseline
Reviewing public utility rate rules, standby charges, time-of-use (TOU) schedules, and interconnection framework for your zone.
5. Building Ownership & Lease
Examining property tenure, landlord/tenant responsibility boundaries, and long-term facility occupancy plans.
6. Preliminary Risk Factors
Highlighting early considerations such as roof age/warranty status, potential electrical panel upgrades, and local permitting steps.
Important Legal & Professional Scope Notice
A consulting solar feasibility assessment is not a substitute for a licensed engineering study, structural integrity inspection, certified electrical panel inspection, official utility interconnection approval, or final solar installer engineering analysis.
Orivanta Energy LLC provides preliminary informational consulting. Final structural loading calculations, electrical code compliance reviews, environmental surveys, utility engineering stamps, and physical site measurements must be performed by certified, licensed engineering professionals and licensed electrical contractors prior to installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why complete a preliminary feasibility review before getting installer quotes?
A feasibility review gives property owners an independent baseline of their energy needs and site constraints, preventing reliance solely on vendor sales estimates.
Do you perform physical structural testing on roofs?
No. We conduct preliminary desk assessments using site plans, satellite aerials, and client documentation. Formal structural load engineering must be executed by a licensed Structural Engineer (SE).
