What happens during my site survey, and how should I prepare?

Your site survey allows Daylight to verify the actual conditions of your home before creating your final solar and battery design.

During the survey, the technician may inspect and document:

  • Roof dimensions, condition, and available installation areas

  • Attic and structural conditions, where applicable

  • Your electrical panel and electrical service

  • Potential locations for your battery and other equipment

  • Shading or obstructions that may affect solar production

  • Access and other installation considerations

How should I prepare?

Please make sure the technician can safely access the areas needed for the survey, particularly your electrical equipment and any attic or utility areas that need to be inspected.

If something prevents the survey from being completed, the appointment may need to be rescheduled.

Why is the site survey important?

Your preliminary system is designed using the information available before we physically inspect your home.

The site survey gives our engineering team the information necessary to determine what can actually be installed safely and correctly. We use that information to create your final system design.
