Solar Racking and Mounting Cut Sheet Checklist
Organize racking, attachment, flashing, rail, clamp, roof-type, and manufacturer documents before a residential solar plan-set review.
What to gather
- Racking manufacturer and model
- Attachment and flashing products
- Module clamp compatibility
- Roof type and installation-document revision
Suggested workflow
- List the selected products.
- Collect current manufacturer documents.
- Match documents to the project scope.
- Send the packet for qualified design review.
Boundary
SolarPermitPrepAI is an intake and precheck workflow. It is not an engineering stamp, permit approval, electrical design service, or legal advice.
Packet quality checklist
- Record exact manufacturer names, model numbers, and document revision dates.
- Keep roof-type and attachment assumptions visible.
- Remove obsolete or unrelated product documents from the active handoff.
Professional review boundary
- SolarPermitPrepAI does not select mounting hardware or verify product compatibility, spacing, loading, or installation.
- The installer, designer, engineer, manufacturer guidance, and AHJ requirements control the final design.
- Use cut sheets as supporting documents, not as proof of project approval.
Missing-item triggers
- Racking or attachment model is unknown
- Manufacturer document revision is unclear
- Roof type does not match the selected attachment assumption
- Site-specific spacing or loading review is required
Quote handoff review
Before paying for review, confirm the address, AHJ, utility, project scope, equipment models, attachment list, and open questions. The cleaner the packet, the easier it is for a qualified professional to price and route the next step.
When the $49 packet prep is worth it
Pay only after the free precheck has an address, AHJ, project scope, equipment notes, first document list, and a qualified reviewer who can make the official decisions. The $49 review is useful for missing-item, document-owner, field-verification, reviewer-question, and quote-handoff structure. Skip payment if you need an engineering design, PE stamp, permit submission, portal login, fee payment, utility or AHJ contact, code interpretation, licensure verification, inspection readiness, construction authorization, safety advice, or guaranteed approval, interconnection, inspection, schedule, quote, payment, ranking, traffic, sales, or revenue.
Can the checklist choose a mounting system?
No. It organizes selected product documents for qualified review.
Should old cut sheets stay in the packet?
Keep only the documents that match the current selected products and archive older versions separately.
