Bruce Gordon has been on the leading edge of installing solar systems since 1980, and he says systems installed by Horizon Energy Systems look as if they were designed with the house rather than as an afterthought. In addition, the company uses a better-than-industry-standard, architecturally designed, secure mounting system that places modules together, without gaps and at a low roof profile. As a Premier Dealer for SunPower and an authorized dealer for Sharp, Stion and Suntech, Horizon Energy Systems is able to design customized solar systems that fulfill clients’ current and future energy needs. “The energy needs of our customers drive our engineering designs,” says Mr. Gordon. “Unlike competitors that may offer one or two choices, we customize system sizes to eliminate as much of the energy bill as possible.” Horizon Energy Systems’ bids are comprehensive, with no extra costs down the road, such as city permits. The company believes module ratings can be confusing, so it quotes each customer in AC system output to accurately gauge what the system will actually produce. By using real-time, web-based monitoring for both string and micro-inverters, Horizon Energy Systems can help monitor each customer’s system long after their installation has been completed.
