Microgrid Feasibility Reports and Energy/Load analysis

Whether evaluating project viability or pursuing grant funding, MZ Solar Consulting delivers comprehensive microgrid feasibility studies that establish the technical and financial foundation for your project’s success. Our studies include preliminary system design, full financial modeling, identification of construction challenges, and preliminary engineering drawings and cost estimates.

Using Xendee optimization software, interval meter data, and utility billing information, we develop a detailed energy analysis and system architecture that align with your performance goals. Each report includes a multi-year financial model outlining cash flow, ROI, IRR, and NPV, providing a clear understanding of your project’s economic outlook.

Our load and PV production analyses inform recommendations for optimized system design using proven, market-ready components, while also identifying construction hurdles and design constraints early in the process.

With over 100 feasibility studies completed across the continental U.S., Alaska, and Puerto Rico—including projects for remote Tribal villages, community microgrids, resiliency hubs, water treatment facilities, and large energy consumers—MZ Solar Consulting brings the technical depth and practical experience needed to turn your vision into reality.

A comprehensive feasibility study is more than an analysis—it’s the roadmap to successful project implementation.

EV Feasibility and Design

From Level 2 chargers for apartments and small fleets to bus chargers and Level 3 DC fast chargers, MZ Solar Consulting delivers comprehensive EV infrastructure feasibility studies and design services.

For clients starting from scratch, we analyze your fleet usage and charging patterns, conduct a load study, and determine the optimal capacity. Using this data, we identify the most effective charging solutions and provide a design that meets both performance and budget requirements.

For contractors awarded EV infrastructure projects, we provide a complete permit-ready drawing set and construction management services to ensure the project is delivered efficiently, on schedule, and to the highest standards of quality.

PV Design

Whether you need an interconnection package to kickstart a project, a single-line diagram (SLD) for a Request for Proposal (RFP), or a full Issued For Construction (IFC) set for a commercial PV system, MZ Solar Consulting brings the experience and technical expertise to meet all your commercial PV design needs.

Our team works collaboratively with architects, engineers, contractors, and owner entities to provide design support throughout every project phase, including Schematic Design (SD) and Design Development (DD). From early conceptual planning to detailed construction documentation, we ensure that your PV project is efficiently designed, code-compliant, and optimized for performance and cost.

With a track record of delivering high-quality commercial PV designs across diverse sectors and project scales, MZ Solar Consulting is uniquely positioned to provide end-to-end design solutions that streamline project development and set the foundation for successful implementation.

Commissioning Reports

Whether providing third-party testing and commissioning for new commercial PV systems or inspecting legacy installations, MZ Solar Consulting delivers comprehensive industry standard compliant commissioning reports.

Our reports provide an in-depth evaluation of your system’s installation, including compliance with codes and standards, system efficiency and production, and identification of potential issues. Through a rigorous inspection process, we verify that every component—from PV mounting structures to system interconnections—meets local, state, utility, and federal requirements.

We perform detailed system testing, including IV curve tracing, module voltage checks, megger testing, and other diagnostics to evaluate system efficiency and detect grounding or wiring concerns. The commissioning process also ensures proper inverter configuration, data acquisition system setup, O&M manuals, and project closeout documentation.

With MZ Solar Consulting, you can ensure your PV project is thoroughly tested, code-compliant, and fully optimized, providing confidence that your system is ready to perform safely and efficiently from day one.
