Solar, Battery & Power Planning

Understand the proposal before you sign it.

FlashRate acts as a solar-readiness and proposal-review consultant — not as an installer. We help you compare options, verify assumptions, and ask the right questions.

01

Solar proposal review

Line-by-line review of installer proposals: panel choice, inverter sizing, expected production, escalator clauses, and warranties.

02

Battery backup planning

Critical-load identification, runtime expectations, and inverter / battery pairing trade-offs.

03

Inverter and panel comparison

  • String vs microinverter trade-offs
  • Hybrid inverters for future battery
  • Panel efficiency vs price
  • Warranty and serviceability
04

EV charging readiness

What needs to happen at the panel and in the conduit before the charger arrives.

05

Home energy usage review

Reading your utility data to right-size the system instead of over-building it.

06

Ownership vs lease / PPA education

Solar leases and PPAs allow customers to host systems owned by solar companies and purchase the generated electricity, but customers generally do not receive tax benefits because they don't own the system. We'll help you understand the trade-offs.

07

Integration with network, smart home, and compute systems

Monitoring, alerting, and automation hooks for solar/battery data alongside the rest of your infrastructure.

Important

FlashRate is not a utility, tax advisor, or legal advisor. Solar incentives, interconnection rules, financing structures, and tax benefits vary by location and customer situation. Verify details with qualified installers, utilities, tax professionals, and local authorities.
