Sales support with an optimized solar layout that you can use for sales presentations. Energy simulation and shade report to incorporate into your sales proposal. We use state of the art solar tools such as Aurora Solar and PVSyst. If module is bifacial we need to use two softwares, Aurora for layout purposes, and PVSyst for production purposes.

Note: After Dec 31 2023 we discontinued our Helioscope subscription. If you still prefer your design in Helioscope you need to provide your account login information to us to create the design on your behalf.

A solar feasibility study determines whether your property is both technically and financially appropriate for the installation of a solar energy system. It is the first step in the process of transitioning to solar energy and involves the inspection of several important aspects of your potential site. At Avila Solar, our team of professionals will perform a thorough inspection and analysis of your property and provide you with a comprehensive  report based on our findings. If you are in Oregon we can work with an Energy Trust of Oregon Solar Trade Ally and take advantage of the solar feasibility incentive which will cover 90% of the cost so your out of pocket is ~$200. Or if you need a solar + storage feasibility study you can qualify for the ETO incentive of 50% of the costs with a maximum of $2500 incentive.

This consulting service is a monthly recurring retainer fee. Ideal for commercial sales agents, solar developers or EPC providers looking for preliminary layouts during initial stages. This is a retainer fee where our team will be available to work with your team during multiple project iterations such as multiple layouts, single line diagrams, interconnection application support, Helioscope simulations, drafting, and all the technical support you need until your project is sold. You can use the retainer fee for multiple projects (orders) at the time. The retainer reserves one of our consultants for a max. of 15 hours/ month at $100/h. If the retainer is depleted before the next month period and you approve us to put more hours on certain project(s), then we will bill the additional extra hours @ $100/h. If you don’t require at least 15 hours/ month any balance will be used as a credit for future work. Please contact us if questions.
