Solar PV surveyor and DesignerSome General Question?
A solar survey is a meticulous evaluation of a property's potential for solar panel installation. This assessment considers crucial elements such as roof orientation, shading, and structural integrity to determine the optimal placement leading to maximum energy production by solar panels.
A solar survey pinpoints the ideal location for your solar panels to maximise energy production. It also ensures your roof is structurally sound and capable of supporting the weight of the panels, minimising potential risks thus optimising your investment.
Solar survey typically includes an assessment of roof orientation, shading analysis, structural inspection, electrical system evaluation, and an estimate of potential solar energy production. It may also include a review of local regulations and permits required for installation.
Yes, some companies offer remote solar surveys using satellite imagery and specialized software to estimate a property’s solar potential. However, a physical survey is usually more accurate, especially for assessing shading and roof conditions.
You can schedule a solar survey by contacting a solar installation company or service provider. They will usually offer a consultation to discuss your energy needs and set up a convenient time for the survey.
Providing details about your energy consumption, roof type, any existing roof warranties and specific concerns or preferences that can help the surveyor tailor the assessment to your needs.
