Six disciplines, one job: telling you what a solar decision is worth

How our solar consulting services fit together

Center For Solar offers solar consulting services in Kentucky across six disciplines, and each one matches a stage of the same decision. You decide whether solar fits. You test what it’s worth. You buy it well, get the paperwork through, confirm it works, and report what it achieved. Most clients need one or two of these, not all six.

• Solar Energy Consulting answers whether, when and on what terms: roof timing, tariffs and land lease offers.
• Financial Feasibility Analysis answers what it’s worth: cash flows, lease versus loan versus cash, storage and commercial deadlines.
• Procurement Consulting answers how to buy well: requests for proposals, bid leveling and equipment documentation.
• Permitting Administrative Support handles the forms, packets and follow-up between signature and permission to operate.
• Performance Analytics answers whether the system is doing what it was sold to do.
• Sustainability Consulting turns kilowatt-hours into the emissions figures customers, lenders and boards ask about.

Why the disciplines share one set of numbers

Here is the part most people miss. The assumptions page in a feasibility study becomes the yardstick for everything after it. The production estimate we test before you sign is the baseline we measure the real system against in year five. The usage profile behind a Scope 2 report comes from the same bills we read for the payback model. If those numbers live in three different spreadsheets from three different vendors, nobody can tell you which one was wrong.

That’s also why the cheapest time to find a problem is before a signature. An optimistic production figure caught in week one costs a phone call. Caught in year three, it’s a 25-year payment built on a number the roof was never going to deliver.

Picking a starting point

Pick the service that matches the document in front of you, using the guide below. Businesses facing a federal credit deadline or a customer’s emissions questionnaire usually start with a feasibility study or questionnaire support. If you can’t tell, the fit call sorts it out in 20 minutes.

What every engagement has in common

Every project follows the same four steps: a free fit call, a written scope with a flat fee, our analysis, and a plain-English report with a recorded walkthrough. We don’t publish prices, because fees depend on complexity, not on system size.

We don’t do engineering, electrical work, legal or tax work. When you need a licensed professional, we say so plainly and help you prepare the questions. Our independence pledge explains why we keep it that way.
