High-Efficiency Mobile Checklist for Solar Site Surveys
An incomplete site survey is a major bottleneck in the solar sales and engineering cycle. If a surveyor fails to capture accurate roof dimensions or electrical panel configurations, engineers must redraw layout designs, delaying proposals and increasing costs.
Providing your survey teams with a structured mobile checklist ensures that all critical physical, mechanical, and electrical details are captured correctly on the first visit. This eliminates the need for repeated site visits and speeds up the design phase.
Key survey points to capture
Surveyors must collect roof structural details (such as RCC concrete, tile, or metal sheet), coordinates, shading obstacles (like trees or adjacent structures), and recent utility bills. This comprehensive data allows designers to create an optimized layout.
Additionally, documenting structural photos of the electrical distribution board, structural pillars, and roofing material helps engineering teams select the correct mounting brackets and wiring layouts. This prevents installation delays due to unexpected structural complications.
- Rooftop orientation (azimuth) and optimal tilt angles.
- Shading profiling using digital instruments or mobile shade analysis tools.
- Electrical main board layouts, fuse ratings, and distance to the inverter location.
- Rooftop access pathways and physical safety parameters for installation crews.
By integrating site survey checklists into your mobile workflow, your field engineers can upload photos and dimensions instantly, allowing the design team to build accurate structural layouts without delay. It ensures a seamless flow of data from site to office.
