We support on-grid, off-grid, and hybrid systems, helping customers qualify for tax credits, battery backup incentives, and NEM compliance where applicable. Perfect for DIY solar projects, energy-efficient home upgrades, commercial solar installations, and PACE-financed solar systems, the PowerPlan helps ensure optimal performance, code compliance, and faster permitting. It's more than just a layout—it's a roadmap to energy independence and solar success.
