Arizona Tips

Design for summer peaks

Peak demand often aligns with late afternoon; storage can help reduce peak charges.

Verify equipment heat ratings

High temperatures can reduce output; choose inverters and batteries rated for hot garages.

Georgia Tips

Size with summer cooling

Cooling loads dominate many homes—use actual kWh history to right-size the system.

Watch contract escalators

If financing, compare escalator vs fixed payment options and total cost over term.
