Dream Big -
and get the specific information you need to make it happen

  •  Are you dreaming of an urban off the grid home?
  •  Want to make a real difference in your energy use and contributions to global warming?
  •  Not sure what to do first, what is most effective or where to begin?

You can have your questions answered, and get expert opinions, relevant information and a written report on what is possible for your home or building.

What do I get in an assessment? Why do you charge for this service?

Our assessment is a custom system design process. Renewable Energy is very site specific and to give more than a very rough ballpark price, the system has to be custom designed for your needs based on a thorough assessment of your site conditions and needs. The design process takes several hours and results in a custom solar system design. The cost of your assessment will be credited against the cost of installing your system if you choose VREC as your supplier and installer.

With your report you will receive
  •  A custom-created system design (what equipment is required to meet your needs and what it will cost)
  •  How much energy the system will produce based on typical weather conditions for your region and the shading patterns at your site.
  •  How much of the energy you currently use will be saved.
  •  What the greenhouse gas reduction will be.
  •  Information on available grants and incentives as applicable.
  •  A credit of the value of the assessment against the cost of a system that is purchased from and installed by us.
