What this work involves
Assess roof condition, capacity, shading, cable routes and the electrical connection before choosing an array layout.
- Roof and array layout
- Inverter and cable route
- Monitoring and maintenance access
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Distribute outlets across the workspace, dining table and play zone rather than one cluster.
Decide this before construction
Decide which room remains available for quiet and study during the work. Do not automatically schedule kitchen and bathroom disruption in the same phase.
Allow for later maintenance
Keep service routes with the room plan. The information helps when a bedroom later needs a different arrangement or use.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on panel quantity, roof access, electrical upgrades and system selection. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs of the existing situation, available drawings and your requirements for solar panels & roof preparation. Identify the elements that should remain.
Questions about the work
What should I discuss before arranging solar panels & roof preparation?
Coordinate roof maintenance with installation. A roof approaching renewal may need work before panels are fitted.
The design situations here illustrate choices; they are not completed projects or a diagnosis of your property.
