• Solar Design Associates, North America's oldest and most respected alternative energy design firm, has deep expertise in building-integrated design and renewable energy systems engineering. Our position in the vanguard of design innovation is substantiated by our unmatched record of successful field experience.

• Led by solar pioneer Steven Strong, we are uniquely qualified in the development and commercialization of building-integrated applications. We support architects, engineers and the building trades in the specification, design, building and commissioning of solar electric, solar thermal and wind energy components and systems.

• With private residential clients, non-profit organizations and academic institutions, we envision design solutions that exemplify the values of stewardship and sustainability.

• Our fee structure is based on the nature and scope of your project:
  • Fees for design, engineering and planning services are negotiated on a percentage of project cost, considering the project scope and degree of specialized engineering required.
  • Short-term consulting and design assignments are undertaken on an hourly basis.
  
  Every decision we make can be a step forward toward a sustainable society. Your new building will last for many decades - perhaps for generations. The effort and resources you invest in its design and construction will be returned to you every day for years to come, and will serve as a legacy to future generations.
