Skyland Energy engineer surveying a rooftop for solar
Preliminary system planner

Start with your load.Design for your reality.

Build a first-pass solar plan using your own consumption, operating schedule, and usable roof area. Then let our engineers validate every assumption on site.

Build my preliminary plan

Your site inputs

A useful estimate starts with useful inputs.

Use figures from a recent electricity bill where possible. You can adjust every input and see the preliminary plan update instantly.

Quick solar planner

Five simple choices · instant result

01. What type of property is this?

Choose a starting point, then adjust every value to match your bill and site.

02. Tell us your electricity use

Use the billed units shown on a representative monthly bill.

03. When is electricity used?
04. Choose your solar contribution target

This is the share of monthly units the preliminary system will aim to generate—not a promised bill reduction.

sq ft

Only count clear, usable space. Water tanks, access paths, shade, and structural setbacks reduce the final fit.

A sensible next step: Solar can address daytime demand; backup or storage should be assessed separately for evening loads.

Planning basis: 4 kWh/kWp/day, 30-day months (360 days/year), approximately 6.5 m²/kW, and the contribution target you selected. Coverage compares energy totals; it does not mean all solar electricity will be consumed on site or that your bill will fall by the same percentage. Actual production varies with location, season, orientation, shade, temperature, equipment, and system losses. This is an early-stage sizing indication—not a generation guarantee, quotation, structural approval, or investment calculation.

Prepare for the survey

Better information produces a better design.

You do not need every document before speaking with us. These inputs simply help the engineering team move from a rough estimate to a defensible system plan faster.

Explore the solar energy audit

Recent electricity bills

Ideally 12 months, including units, maximum demand, tariff, and billing history.

Operating profile

Shift timings, weekly schedule, seasonal production, and major daytime loads.

Roof and site information

Approximate usable area, roof type, access, shade, and structural documentation if available.

Electrical information

Transformer ratings, single-line diagram, generator setup, and interconnection points.

Solar electrical equipment

From screen to site

How the estimate becomes an engineered proposal.

01

Baseline the facility

We review bills, demand, shifts, site constraints, and your commercial priorities.

02

Survey the site

Our team validates roof geometry, electrical infrastructure, access, shade, and constructability.

03

Engineer the options

We compare system architecture, equipment, delivery model, and future expansion paths.

04

Issue a verified proposal

You receive a site-specific recommendation with defined assumptions, scope, and next steps.

Need backup or peak management too?

Solar sizing and battery sizing solve different problems. Skyland can model them together around your critical loads.
