Phatenergy, Neighbor

PHAT Energy designs solar installations which either generate grid-tied energy, or generate energy for an application specific product, like a pump. We are particularly interested in high efficiency solutions, and in designing environments that make solar an integral part of an environment.PHAT Energy is both a C-10 and B California contractor, licensed, bonded, insured. We have expertise in approaching solar system design from two different objectives:

- Sizing on a financial basis. Our objective is to find the system which will provide the customer the fastest pay-back on a cash flow basis, based very specifically on the customer’s current energy utility, rates and consumption. From that we determine the customer’s appetite or desire for a larger system and document the impact of any size increase on the financial model.

- Design for visual and life-style impact. We are effective and passionate about taking solar off the roof and creating spaces where panels and coatings can do triple duty as shelter, architectural pieces and power generators, in other words, creating a highly functional environment. We like to experiment with panels, collectors and systems, so that an empty space can become a special point of reference, a unique structure or a gathering point.
