Professional Solar Design
Licensed PE and NABCEP-certified pros helping homeowners go solar without installer markups
Our Mission
We founded DIY Solar Consultants to democratize professional solar expertise. Too many capable homeowners were stuck between two bad options: paying 100% markup for professional installation, or going completely DIY without engineering support. We created a third path - professional design and permitting at a fraction of installation costs.
What We Believe:
- Solar should be accessible to everyone
- DIY homeowners deserve professional engineering support
- Quality design doesn't require installation markup
- With the right guidance, technically capable people can successfully install solar
- Transparency and education empower better decisions
