Solar panel survey

Solar panel survey reports for roof, layout and electrical decisions

This page is the Vertex owner page for solar panel survey searches. It is built for installer teams that need clear roof evidence, panel-layout constraints, shading notes, access checks, inverter-route context and electrical evidence before design or installation planning moves on.

Panel layout

Roof evidence before the array is promised

The survey records roof planes, visible constraints, obstructions, access, roof lights, chimneys, vents and shading context so the proposed panel layout is not based on a clean-roof assumption.

Electrical route

Inverter and cable-route context

Meter, cut-out, consumer unit, likely inverter position, spare-way context, cable-route clues and battery-ready notes are grouped for quote and design review.

Pricing

Solar panel survey cost from £200

The dedicated solar survey cost page explains the guide price, scope drivers and the checks that can move the final quote before booking.

Company route

Use this page when you need a solar panel survey company

This is the Vertex owner page for solar panel survey company searches. It explains the survey evidence installer teams need before panel layout, quoting and design handover: roof condition, usable area, access, shading, obstructions, electrical route, inverter position, battery context and report delivery.

Roof evidence

Panel layout starts with visible roof constraints

The report captures roof planes, edge constraints, obstructions, roof lights, chimneys, vents, access and shading context so panel layout is not built on a clean-roof assumption.

Electrical evidence

Inverter and cable-route detail before design hardens

Meter, cut-out, consumer unit, likely inverter position, cable route and battery-ready notes are grouped so the quote and installation route can be checked before the job is promised.

Provider check

Compare report quality, not just attendance

A solar panel survey company should show sample-report proof, pricing route, QA, delivery timing and how missing evidence is handled before you send the first live job.

Before design

Solar panel survey company checks to show before design starts

A solar panel survey company should give the designer more than a few roof photos. The report needs to show whether the roof, access, electrical route, inverter position, and optional battery route make sense before the quote is treated as fixed.

Roof evidence

Enough detail to judge the roof

Visible roof condition, usable area, obstructions, shading, roof lights, chimneys, vents, and access constraints should be easy to find in the report.

Electrical route

Clear evidence before cable routes are assumed

The meter, cut-out, consumer unit, spare ways, likely inverter location, and cable-route context should be documented before design or install planning moves too far.

Quick answer

What Vertex provides for solar panel survey work

Vertex provides solar panel survey reports for installer teams across the UK. The report focuses on usable roof area, access, shading, obstructions, electrical evidence, inverter route, battery context where relevant, and the practical notes needed before panel layout and installation planning.

Roof

Layout evidence

Roof planes, obstructions, usable area and access context are captured so panel layout is based on visible site evidence.

Electrical

Route evidence

Meter, cut-out, consumer unit, inverter position and cable-route context are recorded where in scope.

Proof

Report-led handover

The survey output is designed for quote, design and install teams, with sample-report proof available before booking.

What gets checked

A solar panel survey should remove the obvious design unknowns

The job is to make the roof, access, and electrical route clear enough for quoting and design without sending the installer back for basic evidence.

Roof

Roof condition, orientation, and obstructions

  • Roof overview photos and access context
  • Obstructions, shading, and usable roof area notes
  • Pitch and orientation context where useful for design
Electrical

Electrical evidence before design starts

  • Consumer unit, meter, cut-out, and spare-way context
  • Likely inverter and cable-route notes where in scope
  • Constraints that could affect cost or install readiness
Battery-ready

Battery storage context when needed

  • Potential battery location and access notes
  • Existing-system context for retrofit jobs
  • Clear link to the battery storage survey route where needed
Design-ready evidence

What design teams need from a solar panel survey

A solar PV survey should turn the site visit into usable evidence, not a folder of loose roof photos. The report needs to show what can fit, what might block the layout, and what electrical context could change the quote.

Usable roof area

Panel layout evidence

The survey captures the roof planes, visible dimensions, roof lights, chimneys, vents, hips, valleys, and edge constraints that affect solar panel layout before design starts.

Shading

Obstructions and shading context

Nearby buildings, trees, dormers, aerials, and roof furniture are recorded so the design team can see why a string, optimiser, or panel arrangement may need changing.

Electrical route

Inverter, cable and battery context

Meter, cut-out, consumer unit, spare ways, inverter location, cable route, and battery siting notes are grouped so the solar PV quote is not built on assumptions.

What the report helps avoid

A solar panel survey should reduce avoidable callbacks

Most avoidable solar callbacks come from missing site context: access that was not checked, a roof obstruction that was not photographed, or electrical evidence that was too vague to quote from.

Before quote

Clear enough for the first decision

Installer teams can see whether the job needs standard solar survey work, extra battery storage checks, or a different conversation before they commit the client to a route.

Before design

Evidence tied to design questions

Roof photos, electrical photos, access notes, and battery context are grouped by decision point so design check does not depend on memory or scattered messages.

Before install

Install constraints are visible early

If access, cable routes, consumer-unit position, roof complexity, or inverter siting may slow the job down, the issue is visible before install day.

Cost and next step

Solar panel survey cost and how to start

The public guide price is simple. The final quote still depends on the roof, property size, travel, and whether battery or extra electrical context is needed.

Guide price

Solar survey from £200

A solar survey starts from £200. Use the guide price builder if you want to combine a solar panel survey with ASHP, battery, or heat loss work. Use the solar PV survey page when the design handover is the main concern.

Combined jobs

Solar plus battery or ASHP

If the visit needs more than the solar panel survey, select the extra services in the guide price builder and we will confirm scope before booking.

Proof

Review the report style first

Check the sample report and solar survey page before sending the first job. You should know what your team will receive before committing.

FAQs

Solar panel survey questions

A solar panel survey checks the roof, access, shading, electrical context, and practical constraints before design or installation decisions move forward.

You need enough roof evidence to understand access, usable area, obstructions, and practical constraints. If structural suitability is a concern, that should be checked by the right competent person before installation decisions are finalised.

Vertex guide pricing starts from £200 for a solar survey. The final quote depends on property size, roof complexity, travel, and any battery or electrical extras.

Usually, yes. A solar PV survey normally means the same pre-installation evidence: roof context, panel layout constraints, access, shading, electrical evidence, and battery context where needed.

It should show usable roof area, obstructions, shading, access, electrical context, likely inverter position, cable-route constraints, and battery-ready notes where relevant. The point is to make the design and quote easier to trust.

Yes. Where battery storage is in scope, the survey can include battery location, access, existing-system context, consumer unit, meter, and route notes so storage is not added blindly later.
