Helena, Montana, has excellent solar irradiance; we receive about 4.7 hours of peak sunlight on average. “Peak sunlight” means the amount of time when the sun’s rays are producing about a 1,000 watts per square meter. Peak sunlight hours are typically used to calculate solar module production.
Solar Montana will conduct a thorough site analysis to ensure that the proposed installation is optimal for solar production. Through the use of a solar shade obstruction tools, we can accurately tell you if any obstructions will cause shading at any time of the year.
When grid power is out of reach and you still want the modern convenience of electricity, an off grid solar system can provide a solution.
