Technical Solar Assessment

Navigating the path to solar energy can be complex, especially when seeking Fannie Mae’s Green Rewards. You want a streamlined process that maximizes your investment and ensures compliance. AEI Consultants’ Renewable Energy Team is here to simplify the journey with our Technical Solar Assessment (TSA) Services. 

A Technical Solar Assessment (TSA) is a detailed evaluation required by Fannie Mae’s Green Rewards Program for multifamily properties. It assesses the feasibility of installing a solar energy system, providing recommendations based on energy consumption, property infrastructure, and local regulations. The findings are compiled into a Technical Solar Report, which includes solar design specifications, financial analysis, and energy generation simulations.

AEI can help you:

• Understand Compliance: Confused by the requirements for Fannie Mae’s Green Rewards Program? We clarify each step and ensure all criteria are met.
• Avoid Development Delays: Concerned about unforeseen roadblocks during installation? Our in-depth analysis can help you mitigate these risks, reducing potential delays and cost overruns.
• Maximize ROI: Unsure if solar is a sound investment? Our detailed assessments provide financial projections and system designs to help you make informed decisions.

Fannie Mae requires a TSA to ensure that the proposed solar system is practical, feasible, and meets all program requirements. The assessment helps property owners understand the energy-saving potential of solar, how it will impact their property, and what kind of financial benefits they can expect. Additionally, the TSA is key to ensuring the solar system is eligible for reimbursement under the program.

A Technical Solar Assessment (TSA) is a critical step for any multifamily property looking to qualify for Fannie Mae’s Green Rewards Program. Our team provides a thorough evaluation of your property’s renewable energy potential, delivering a tailored plan that aligns with your goals.

Here’s how AEI makes your solar journey seamless:

• Utility Analysis and Review
  We kick off with a complete analysis of your property’s utility accounts, energy consumption, and costs. Our experts examine every detail—from kWh consumption and kW capacity to the rates you pay for generation, transmission, and distribution.
• On-Site Solar Potential Assessment
  Next, our Technical Solar Consultant conducts a site visit to assess the feasibility of installing a solar PV system. We review your property’s infrastructure, analyze space availability, and evaluate shading or other potential issues.
• Comprehensive Renewable Energy Analysis
  Finally, we combine the data from our utility review and site visit with advanced modeling techniques. This includes structural and electrical engineering calculations, local weather data, solar component selections, and interconnection and permitting considerations to provide a comprehensive assessment.

The Result: A Detailed Technical Solar Report
This report includes a financial analysis, technical specifications, and a customized solar array design, offering clear insights into your property’s solar potential and cost savings. With our TSA, you can confidently move forward knowing that your solar system is practical, achievable, and eligible for Fannie Mae reimbursement.

Any multifamily property looking to participate in Fannie Mae’s Green Rewards Program and considering a solar installation will benefit from a TSA. It helps property owners understand whether solar energy is feasible for their site and what kind of financial and energy savings they can expect. If you are unsure, AEI can help you  figure it out.
