Full Property Walkthrough
We do a complete walkabout of your property to understand its layout and context. This helps us identify opportunities and challenges early, ensuring a smarter installation plan and a better long-term system fit.
Roof and Site Review
We assess your roof or ground space to understand the layout and potential for solar. Key features such as roof planes, chimneys, skylights, and surrounding elements are noted to guide system design and ensure a smooth installation process.
Attic and Electrical Review
We inspect your attic to understand roof structure and check your home electrical panel. This ensures your home is equipped to handle solar and helps us plan for a clean, efficient, and future-ready system design.
Shading Analysis
We evaluate shading from multiple points and, when helpful, use drone imagery to get a complete view of roof planes, trees, and surrounding structures. This allows us to accurately estimate energy production and find the best solar placement for your property.
System Layout and Cable Planning
We determine the best locations for panels, inverters, and monitoring equipment. We also map out tidy, code-compliant cable routes that minimize visual impact and simplify installation.
Inverter Placement and Integration
We finalize inverter placement, aligning your preferred location with our site findings to ensure optimal performance, long-term reliability, and a clean, seamless finish.
Why A Site Assessment Matters
Online images and drawings are helpful, but they don’t tell the whole story. Roof changes, new structures, tree growth, or electrical upgrades can be missed if we rely only on pictures or Google Maps. A site visit allows us to see your property as it is today and catch details that make a real difference in system performance and design.
Every home is unique. A detailed solar site assessment ensures your system is designed for:
-
Maximum energy production year after year
-
Long-term reliability and clean aesthetics
-
Minimal disruption to your daily life during installation
-
Accurate financial projections for your investment
Visiting your property gives us the full picture, so your solar system is thoughtfully planned, built to perform, and customized for your home.
