Solar Site Survey Packet

Who this helps

site surveyors, installers, and operations teams collecting field details for residential solar projects.

What to gather

• Roof and attic photos
• Panel and meter photos
• Obstruction and shading notes
• Access and equipment location notes

Packet quality checklist

• Label photos by roof, attic, panel, meter, conduit path, and equipment location.
• Record uncertain field conditions instead of hiding them.
• Keep survey notes tied to the project address and date.

Professional review boundary

• Site survey data must be verified by the responsible installer, designer, or professional.
• SolarPermitPrepAI does not inspect sites or validate field measurements.
• Use it to organize what was collected before plan-set drafting.

Missing-item triggers

• No panel, meter, or roof photos
• Attic, rafter, or structural details unknown
• Shading or obstruction notes missing
• Equipment location not documented

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.
