Solar Estimating Best Practices
Verify Roof Condition
Check roof age and condition before installing. Old roofs may need replacement first, which affects project scope.
Account for Shading
Assess trees, chimneys, and nearby structures. Shading reduces production and may require design changes.
Check Utility Requirements
Each utility has different interconnection rules and timelines. Include these requirements in your estimate.
Document Everything
Take photos of roof, electrical panel, and meter. Good documentation prevents disputes and supports permit applications.
