Solar Systems
Building Energy will help you understand your options.
We’re experienced with both photovoltaic (PV) systems for generating electricity and solar thermal systems for heating domestic water.
Our services include:
- Site evaluation
- Technology and product recommendations
- Return on investment calculations
- System design
- Permitting
- System installation
Experience Counts
Building Energy’s team of experienced solar professionals will help you understand, assess, and plan the solar energy solution that best meets your needs. We will work as your partner through all the various stages of solar system implementation including site assessment, component selection, and installation.
A Site Assessment includes a shading analysis, roof inspection and review of your existing mechanical systems. We will also review your recent utility bills with you so that we can recommend the best system to meet your energy requirements.
Turn-key Solutions
Our proposal package will include a detailed system design and cost quote along with a shading analysis and report. We will also complete all the necessary incentive applications where applicable.
Our solar engineer is nationally certified, licensed and insured. We are also eligible installers under the incentive programs in both Vermont and New York State. We see to it that our customers receive the very best solar services available.

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Systems
With a photovoltaic solar system you actually generate electricity using the sun’s energy. Also known as PV solar, recent advances in solar electricity generating technology make this option increasingly popular. A PV system will reduce or eliminate your electric bill altogether! More »
Solar Thermal System
Solar thermal systems use the energy of the sun for domestic water heating or space heating. These systems consist of one or more solar collectors, a storage tank, circulator pumps and controls. Solar hot water (SHW) systems are the most efficient and cost-effective solar technology available. A typical installation will provide 100% of the domestic hot water needs during the summer months and 60% to 75% annually. More »
AllSun Trackers
AllSun Trackers are solar panels mounted on poles installed in the ground. They move with the sun as it crosses the sky, keeping the solar panels at a perpendicular angle to the sun’s rays. This maximizes the amount of sunlight reaching the panels, which in turn maximizes the amount of electricity they generate. More »
