The Complete Solar Installation Process 2: Understanding the Importance of a Comprehensive Site Survey

The first step of your solar panel installation process is a thorough site survey of your home. This in-person appointment will capture multiple data points to allow us a comprehensive assessment and ensure we design and install a solar system that is perfect for your home.

Key Areas Covered During a Site Survey

A comprehensive site survey typically focuses on three primary areas:

1. Roof Assessment

• Roof condition and material
• Roof angle and orientation
• Available space for solar panels
• Potential shading issues from trees or structures

2. Attic Inspection

• Structural integrity
• Rafter spacing and condition
• Ventilation requirements
• Access points for wiring

3. Electrical System Evaluation

• Main electrical panel capacity
• Current electrical load
• Meter location
• Required upgrades (if any)

Why a Site Survey Matters

• Accurate System Design: Ensures the solar system is designed specifically for your home's unique characteristics
• Optimal Performance: Identifies the best panel placement for maximum energy production
• Safety Compliance: Verifies that your home meets all structural and electrical requirements
• Cost Accuracy: Helps provide an accurate quote with no surprises later
