Solar Site Surveys
What It Is
A solar site survey is a detailed evaluation conducted to determine the feasibility and efficiency of installing a solar energy system at a specific location. This process involves assessing various factors, such as the property's sun exposure, roof condition, orientation, shading from trees or buildings, and available space for solar panels. Specialists may use tools like solar pathfinders or drones to analyze sun angles and shading patterns throughout the year. They also evaluate the property’s electrical infrastructure and energy consumption needs to design a system tailored to the site. A solar site survey ensures optimal system placement, maximizes energy production, and helps homeowners or businesses make informed decisions about their solar investment.
What We Include
We conduct a thorough evaluation to collect all essential information required for a successful solar installation. This includes obtaining precise roof measurements to ensure accurate system design and placement, as well as assessing the condition of the roof to determine its suitability and structural integrity for supporting solar panels. Additionally, we gather detailed information about the attic, such as rafter sizing, rafter spacing, truss information and any attic damage . A comprehensive review of the property’s electrical system is also performed, including panel capacity, wiring, and compatibility, to support seamless integration with the solar energy system. Beyond these aspects, we document other critical factors that could influence the installation process, ensuring every detail is addressed to deliver a reliable and efficient solar solution tailored to the specific needs of the property.
