process

The transition to renewable energy is a big one. Our goal is to guide you through it seamlessly. That’s why a dedicated DSD Team will be with you every step of the way.

Step 1: Assess & Design

We start by calculating the expected solar energy yield and performance of your new solution. Then, after evaluating your current energy usage, we can provide an accurate comparative savings projection. We also unearth valuable local incentives; review regulations, site constraints and resources; and more.

Efficiency Variables

By identifying areas of system loss early in the process, we can provide a more accurate system proposal.

Step 2: Finance & Develop

Next, we secure financing for your solar energy project and move straightaway into obtaining permits, securing incentives, assessing equipment needs, etc. Once all this is done, we structure your contract.

Step 3: Install

Successful development starts with a collaborative process that engages organizational leadership, facility leadership, and local community stakeholders. During engagement meetings, we will coordinate site requirements such as:

EHS requirements and processes
Vital traffic pathways, emergency vehicle entry, employee and public parking locations
Interconnection shutdown procedure and coordination
Essential landscape elements; address of architectural and aesthetic features
Site security requirements
Demolition plan accounts for light removal, trees and any other landscape element
Site mobilization, safety, registration and coordination elements
Construction phasing plan

Step 4: Operate & Maintain

Once your new solar energy solution is launched and operational, we monitor and maintain all assets to ensure safety and optimal performance/ROI. Plus, all equipment in use is backed with comprehensive DSD Warranty Administration.

DSD Warranty Administration

Any long-term asset requires long-term protection.

Our warranty management on all Tier-1 equipment means you can feel secure you won’t need to deal with the headache of ensuring all your equipment is working properly. Not only will we administer all equipment and workmanship warranties, we take care of all facets of your solar power system, including 24/7 monitoring, planned and unplanned maintenance.

By including a Production Guarantee with your DSD Service Plan, you insure your solar PV solution against missing energy production targets due to avoidable efficiency losses.
