Access comes first
Ground-mounted and roof-mounted arrays present different access conditions. Send a wide photo of the full array and the route to it.
Keep cleaning and electrical performance separate
Exterior cleaning addresses visible surface buildup. A qualified solar professional should diagnose electrical production or system performance.
What to include with an estimate
Provide array size, mounting location, representative close photos, known damage, and any roof or property access concerns.
Practical example
A ground-mounted row with open access presents a different work area from a roof-mounted array above landscaping or narrow side-yard access.
Surface considerations
- Ground or roof mounting
- Array size and spacing
- Visible buildup and known damage
- Safe route to the array
Preparation checklist
- Send a wide photo of the complete array
- Photograph the access route
- Direct electrical-performance concerns to a qualified solar professional
