We have many options, both electrically and mechanically, when it comes to a custom solar panel. Because it can be difficult to explain all these options over the phone, in an email, or on a webpage, we developed a Custom Solar Panel Design Tool. Customers can use this tool to learn the basic anatomy of a solar panel, some of the customization options available, and create a custom solution that meets their needs.

Using solar to power electronics or charge a battery requires more components than just a panel. With our extensive knowledge and experience, we can help design or make recommendations for all components of a solar solution.
