An essential component of any effective energy strategy starts by reducing energy consumption. Nexus Solar recommends that during the design of new solar electric systems you first bring down your energy use by implementing energy-efficient solutions. Taking these important first steps not only increases your efficiency allowing you to save money on systems costs but also reduces your greenhouse gas emission and contributes to the fight against climate change. We encourage customers to install energy saving measures and offer design and technical guidance on how to lower your total footprint. Solar power in combination with conservation measures can dramatically help increase your overall return on investment for your solar project.

Custom Solutions May Include:

• Installing more energy efficient lighting
• Updating insulation and weathering
• Replacing old windows with double-paned windows
• Adding window tint
• Replacing inefficient appliances

To qualify for rebates and incentives many programs require and energy efficiency audit as a part of the application process. Nexus Solar will walk you through these audits to and determine your current usage as well as what the most effective solutions that can be implemented. Our energy consultants are experts who can conduct an on-site analysis to find the most comprehensive strategy to effectively lower your costs. Because consumers have many different options available measures can be implemented over time and incorporated into the sizing of your solar solution.
