Solar panel survey deliverables: roof context for design

A good solar pack makes the roof “readable” for design and install decisions.

The aim is clarity: roof context, obstruction evidence, and notes that remove guesswork when questions come up later.

1) Roof overview + scaling

  • Wide photos of each roof face
  • Reference shots that support scaling
  • Notes where layout constraints matter

2) Obstructions + constraints

  • Chimneys, vents, skylights, dormers documented clearly
  • Notes that explain the constraint (not just the photo)
  • Evidence grouped by category for fast review

3) Electrical evidence (where required)

  • Meter / cut-out / consumer unit photos
  • Main fuse rating and spare ways captured
  • Constraints highlighted early
