Installer guide
Solar survey checklist for installers
Most solar survey delays come from missing roof context or weak electrical evidence, not from the design software.
Capture these on every solar survey
- Wide roof photos showing array area, obstructions, and access.
- Shading context from the positions that affect layout decisions.
- Meter, cut-out, and consumer unit evidence that can be reviewed later.
- Inverter location, cable route, and any awkward install constraints.
- Notes grouped by decision point, not hidden in one long observations field.
Where teams usually lose time
- Roof photos too tight to support layout review.
- No clear record of which roof areas are unusable.
- Electrical photos that show equipment but not the details the office needs.
