What A Pre-Installation Roof Inspection Should Include
A roof inspection should protect the customer, the installer, and the electrical team before work starts.
Capture:
- Roof covering condition - Truss, rafter, or purlin access notes - Shading and panel layout risks - Waterproofing points - Safe access route - Existing DB and inverter location - Photos before equipment is moved onto the roof
In SolarOps, this should be a job card attached to the project. Add photos, technician notes, due date, and the responsible person.
Marketing point: The inspection record reduces disputes because the "before" condition is stored with the project.
