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
