As distributed and renewable energy systems see increased consumer demand, this market condition attracts non-technical, profit-driven businesses that oftentimes sacrifice quality and value for their bottom line. Alphabet Engineering can protect your investment by maximizing every dollar spent or unspent on your project.
Detailed Due Diligence
The profitability of an operating plant (no matter how small) can be increased with the proper due diligence early in the development process. Utility constraints, code restriction, tie-in studies, shading, and structural analysis can all make-or-break a project. The sooner you determine if any of these present real obstacles to success, the sooner you can move on to the next one.

Did your engineer maximize the array output by balancing the string homeruns back to the combiner? Has he/she incorporated future maintenance access needs into their layout? Was object near shading truly accounted for if the roof was haphazardly surveyed? What soiling losses did they assume in their production model? When your engineer hands you the drawing set, are you 100% confident in their work?
Full Testing & Commissioning
Testing and commissioning represents one of the most critical steps in the entire project development process. Can you rely on the means and methods applied to last years beyond their warranty? Have the major components been properly stressed? Has every scenario been simulated and the appropriate responses observed? Prior to commercial operation date as an investor you want to walk away without having any doubts that your goals will be exceeded.
