Ask for written assumptions

Key takeaway: Use this article to prepare better questions. A solar design, price, programme outcome or savings estimate must be confirmed for the individual property in a current written proposal.

A solar roof assessment should check usable area, orientation, shading, roof condition, structural considerations, access and electrical routing.

The roof determines more than the number of panels that can fit. It also affects safety, installation time, maintenance and long-term reliability.

The Main Roof Assessment Points

An installer should review roof material, age, pitch, drainage, obstructions, shade and access. A structural review may be needed when the roof design or condition requires it.

What to Photograph Before a Site Visit

Full roof sections from the ground
Electrical meter and distribution board
Roof access points and nearby trees
Inverter location and cable routes
Any leaks, extensions or recent renovation

Why Roof Assessment Protects the Investment

A system that fits on paper may still need changes after a site inspection. Early assessment reduces surprises and helps the proposal state exclusions clearly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can solar be installed on an old tiled roof?

Possibly, but roof condition, mounting method and structural safety must be assessed before installation.

Does shading from a neighbouring building matter?

Yes. Partial shading can affect generation and should be considered during design and estimation.
