Frequently Asked Questions
What does Aegis review during a solar assessment?
Its free, no-obligation property assessment reviews available roof and ground space, energy use, budget and building orientation; the company then provides a system estimate.
Who handles town permits and utility inspections for a solar-electric project?
Aegis prepares the utility interconnection request and pays the application fee, obtains town permits, and arranges town and utility inspections.
How much useful life should remain on a roof before solar installation?
The roof should be in good condition and have at least 10 years of useful life remaining.
What does a solar pool-heating collector need?
It can be roof- or ground-mounted if it receives 4 to 6 hours of sunlight per day; the system ties into the existing filter and pool pump.
