Hannah Energy's solar evaluations includes three main components: **e****nergy analysis, site/shade analysis, and financial analysis.** [See Sample Solar Evaluation](https://blog.solarcrowdsource.com/hubfs/Sample.pdf?t=1510245695416&utm_campaign=Solarize%20Dunwoody&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-84Jn3MBkTXaIu5qUBFWNh8FYeAE7RJglbdJk589cIS7cgh3BTMz1dZ4V08SVxHVHE7T0Mk)   |   [HelioScope and Simulation](https://blog.solarcrowdsource.com/hubfs/helioscope_simulation_1355753_summary.pdf?t=1510245695416&utm_campaign=Solarize%20Dunwoody&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-84Jn3MBkTXaIu5qUBFWNh8FYeAE7RJglbdJk589cIS7cgh3BTMz1dZ4V08SVxHVHE7T0Mk) Starting with your electricity bill information, Hannah can determine how much energy you use and how much it costs. Then they will** right-size a system specific to your energy needs and lifestyle**. Next, with satellite imagery and site visit, Hannah will lay out the proposed solar array to scale on the sunniest part of your home for optimum efficiency. Hannah uses the low profile black frame, black cell panels pictured above. **Now you can visualize what solar looks like on your roof.** ![monthly production chart.png](https://blog.solarcrowdsource.com/hs-fs/hubfs/monthly%20production%20chart.png?width=200&name=monthly%20production%20chart.png "monthly production chart.png")Finally, Hannah Energy provides a detailed financial analysis so you can make an informed decision. The financial analysis is easy to understand but gives a lot of detail including cost, tax incentives,  itemization of materials and warranties, monthly production schedule, and a 25-year payback schedule so you can **see exactly when to expect your system to pay itself off**.  Of course all of this is free with no obligation. The goal of the **[Solarize Dunwoody](http://www.solarizedunwoody.com/?utm_campaign=Solarize%20Dunwoody&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-84Jn3MBkTXaIu5qUBFWNh8FYeAE7RJglbdJk589cIS7cgh3BTMz1dZ4V08SVxHVHE7T0Mk)** program is to **remove barriers of going solar and educate participants of the benefits of solar**. A Hannah Energy representative will meet with you and answer any questions you have. This way, participants can make a well-informed decision before making the transition to renewable energy and energy independence! ![dunwoody-logo-charm-2.jpg](https://blog.solarcrowdsource.com/hubfs/dunwoody-logo-charm-2.jpg) Blog Post ## Related Articles Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
