To begin the evaluation process, all you need to do is give us a call. We will come out to meet you and survey your site. Our experienced staff will analyze your property, take measurements, collect solar data as well as answer all of your questions. During the site visit we will ask you to provide one copy of your existing electric service bill and a property survey if available. We will use this data to custom design a preliminary system.

After designing a preliminary system, we will be able to produce a preliminary return on investment report for your project. We will set up a second meeting, to sit down and go over the preliminary system design and return on investment report. We will explain everything you need to know regarding your potential solar project so that you can make an informed decision on how to move forward. We look to make solar power cost effective for our customers and we want you to recieve the optimal investment from your solar project.

As the project moves forward, we plan all of the details for you.

It is critical to design every aspect of the project correctly the first time so that there are no issues during installation and/or operation of the final system.

East Coast Alternative Energy uses cutting edge computer modeling to precisely and accurately design your entire system. This allows us to analyze how the system will work in real life and optimize solar production.

We perform all of the Design & Engineering in house to get your project started quickly and effeciently.

In the meantime, East Coast Alternative Energy staff members will also be completeing all of the required paper work for you. We will secure your building and electrical permits as well as enter you into New Jersey's SREC Registration Program.

We secure all of the necessary approvals that are required to start the project, so that you do not have to worry about anything! 

Installation usually begins with a site meeting between the operations manager, project manager and electrician, prior to the first day of actual construction. This is our final check to make sure everything is in order and we have a smooth construction process.

The actual construction begins shortly afterward and is performed by a three to four man crew of industry trained, OSHA approved technicians. A project manager is always on-site to answer any questions or discuss any concerns. We have fully licensed electricians that will oversee all of the electrical work and ensure that it complies with the latest National Electric Code standards. Our electricians then take the crucial step of interconnecting your system to the existing utility. This is very important and we always work together with the utility to be sure that all of our work is correct and approved.

A typical small to medium-sized system will take one week to ten days from start to completion.

Once your project is completed, we instruct you on both the operation of the system and the names and functions of its individual components. We never leave a site until the owner feels comfortable with their system. We then prepare a detailed commissioning report to document the system’s performance at the time of construction.

We do periodic maintenance checks on all of our systems at the six month and one year anniversary of installation. We use the report generated at the completion of construction against detailed digital monitoring to troubleshoot your system and ensure that everything is working to its maximum potential.

It is the goal of East Coast Alternative Energy to offer unsurpassed service during every step of our process. Our highly trained technicians and outstanding in-house staff will keep your system running strong.

Optional maintenance contracts are available for customers wishing to extend our services. This is highly reccomended for systems without monitoring, as loss in production will not be easily noticed.

Purchasing a solar power system can be expensive. To get the most out of your investment, you need to ensure optimal productivity. Without proper monitoring, solar power systems can underperform. Solar monitoring technology can serve as a system owner’s insurance against potential inefficiency issues. Guaranteeing that the owner is aware of and satisfied with the system’s performance helps to ensure a good relationship between the owner and the system.

In fact, the solar monitoring system can be one of the most critical aspects of a solar design. System monitoring is the best way to track production and increase performance by quickly identifying system issues and enabling proper maintenance.

It allows you to remotely monitor, diagnose, manage and control your solar electric system. Monitoring your system can be as simple as opening a web browser. A remote monitoring configuration can send your system’s performance information through a local Bluetooth connection in your home or a standard internet connection, making it accessible anywhere in the world. Some systems can even be accessed through web-enabled phones.

Depending on environmental factors, your system may benefit from advanced panel level performance and monitoring. Through the use of Micro-Inverters and Module Maximizers, clients with shading or general location issues can achieve exceptional performance in less than ideal circumstances. Using a company like East Coast Alternative Energy will ensure that your system continually reaches its maximum potential.
