The 1-in-4 Standard: Why Honest Solar Companies Reject Unviable Projects
In the renewable energy industry, the pressure to make a sale often overshadows sound engineering. It is common for contractors to slap standard modular panels onto roofs without analyzing whether the property’s power consumption matches the system's actual production.
At Simgad Solar, we take a different approach. On average, we qualify only 1 out of every 4 properties we evaluate.
Why turn away 75% of potential projects? Because solar is a long-term infrastructure investment, not a quick purchase. If a system does not generate clear operational savings or improve property value, it should not be built.
The Process
What We Look For During an Energy Audit:
12-Month Consumption Analysis: We evaluate a full year of utility bills to map peak usage times and demand charges rather than relying on quick estimates.
Structural & Shade Viability: We check roof condition, structural load capacity, and shading patterns to ensure decades of uncompromised generation.
Future Electrical Load: Whether you plan to add commercial EV chargers, fleet vehicles, or building expansions, we design for where your business is going.
If our audit shows that solar won't deliver real economic value for your property, we will tell you directly. Real partnership starts with honest engineering.
