Survey-only specialists for solar installer companies

Vertex does not sell or install solar PV systems. We are a survey-only specialist, which means installer companies can outsource the survey work without losing the customer relationship or design control. The pack is produced for your team to use — labelled evidence, predictable structure, and design-ready inputs the office and install team can both work from.

Why solar installers outsource to Vertex

Three reasons solar installer teams stop doing surveys in-house

In-house surveying ties up your most valuable people — the ones who could be on a roof installing.

Capacity

Free your installers for installs

  • Every survey done by an installer is an install day lost
  • Vertex absorbs the survey workload so your team stays on roofs
  • Volume can scale up or down without hiring or firing
Consistency

One pack format every job

  • Same structure, same labels, same QC checks every time
  • Office and design teams stop reassembling job histories
  • New designers can pick up any job without onboarding
Defensibility

Evidence that holds up under audit

  • Photos as proof for every shading and access constraint
  • Roof and electrical inputs traced to measured evidence
  • Pack structure designed for compliance review
