Introduction

Our work with various developers has shown that adding a 2.5kW photovoltaic system adds approximately $10,000 to $15,000 to sale price of a new home.  However, with the help of Federal and state government incentives, utility company rebates and buy-back, buyers can generally see a buy down of almost $5,000 in addition to the energy efficient home mortgages and other specialty financing.

Atlantis Energy Systems, Inc. is always seeking credible home development projects that can showcase our products, reduce stresses to our electric utility grid, provide homeowners with long term electric power production and developer sales. 

Fact Sheet

Marketing is a key part of running and growing your Green Development Business. To help you Atlantis Energy Systems has put together this Fact Sheet to help your company with important facts about photovoltaic systems, general costs, etc.

Sample DWG

When working directly with a development company or with our various dealers, we are able to provide the necessary construction documents needed to permit your set of drawings.

Working with Beachside Roofing LLC in Hawaii, Atlantis Energy Systems produced a 2 sheet set of drawings for each building using Atlantis Sunslates.  PV 1 is typically used as the string layout and calculation sheet.  PV1.1 is a good illustration of code compliant electrical layout.

For each project we work on, our team of architects and engineers can either work with your design team to develop code compliant drawings and specs or through our sales office in Sacramento, CA and nationwide dealers, we can provide the needed information and engineering for your own code compliant drawings.

Case Study 1

Atlantis Energy Systems designers collaborated on a project that incorporated Solar Power Production to the Home of Eleanor and William Revelle, a new 4,000-square-foot home near Northwestern University in Evanston, IL.

Now in operation for more than 3.5 years, Atlantis Energy Systems delivered 480 Sunslates rated at 13.3Wp/tile totaling 6.38kWp.  The PV system is net metered and connected to the Commonwealth Edison grid, providing power to that grid during peak solar hours during the summer season.  During the evening hours, the homeowner buybacks power from the utility.  On a typical summer day, between 15-20 kWh of electricity are sold to Commonwealth Edison during the day and, 6-10 kWh are purchased in the evening.  In the winter, approximately 4-8 kWh/day can be sold back to the utility.  In addition to being “grid tied”, a battery backup system has been installed reducing the overall efficiency of the system but providing the homeowner with 24 hour power.

Case Study 2

Known in the industry for pushing the envelop of fully integrated solar energy, Atlantis Energy Systems teamed with Dawn Solar to collaborate on  a solar thermal and photovoltaic system on an existing home in Virginia.
