Preliminary Site Assessment



The property has been evaluated for solar energy suitability. Based on the preliminary assessment, the site is a strong candidate for a solar PV system. The evaluation covered roof conditions, shading, system layout potential, and electrical infrastructure.

 

Roof & Structural Conditions

The roof is in [good/fair] condition, made of [shingle/tile/metal/flat], and appears structurally sound for solar panel installation. The usable roof areas face [south/east/west], which is favorable for solar production. There is adequate space to accommodate a system sized to offset a significant portion of the property’s energy usage.

 

Minimal shading is present from nearby trees or structures. A detailed shade study is recommended to confirm solar access across all seasons and to optimize panel placement.

 

Solar Access & System Sizing

The available roof space allows for a proposed system size of  kW. This system is expected to offset percentage of the current annual electricity consumption, depending on final design and production values. A detailed performance model will be provided based on shading, tilt, and orientation.

 

Electrical System Overview

The main electrical service panel is rated at [100A / 125A / 200A] and is located [location on property]. The panel has [adequate / limited] space for the addition of a solar backfeed breaker. If necessary, a subpanel installation or main panel upgrade may be required, depending on final system size and existing load calculations.

 

The proposed interconnection point will be determined during engineering review. Standard connection options include backfeed to the main panel or a line-side tap, depending on code compliance and panel capacity.

 

Energy Usage Overview

Based on initial estimates or utility bills provided, the property consumes  kWh of electricity annually. The proposed system is designed to offset between [80–100]% of this usage. Final sizing will be confirmed after analyzing detailed usage data and conducting performance simulations.

 

Site Access & Installation Conditions

The site provides standard access for installation, with no major obstacles for equipment delivery or worker safety. Inverter and system components can be installed on the exterior wall near the main service panel or another code-compliant location. Conduit paths will be planned for minimal visual impact and efficient performance.

 

If battery storage or EV charging is being considered, space requirements and interconnection points will be reviewed during the design phase.

 

Next Steps

  • Conduct a full shade analysis and finalize system layout
  • Review current energy usage to confirm offset goals
  • Complete engineering review and permitting documents
  • Prepare proposal with final design, production, and financial projections
  • Schedule site inspection or drone scan if needed

 

This preliminary site assessment confirms the property’s strong potential for solar. The final system design will be tailored to match energy goals, site conditions, and budget preferences.
