Start with electricity use
Electricity bills and patterns of use can help establish the starting requirement. They are one input among several, rather than a promise of a particular outcome.
A later site assessment can clarify the practical fit between usage, the available area and the intended system.
Review the usable roof
Available roof area is different from usable area. Access, shade, roof condition, orientation and safe working space all affect what can be considered.
A site-specific review is more useful than relying on a broad estimate from a drawing or photograph alone.
Match the recommendation to the site
A final proposal should reflect the assessed requirement and site conditions, alongside relevant connection and approval considerations. The right next step is to discuss the property with a solar team.
This guide provides general information. A site-specific assessment is needed before a recommendation.
