Field notes: what we look for before sizing solar + storage
A practical checklist for operators—peak load, shading, and monitoring—before you commit capex to panels and batteries.
Before we size solar and storage, we look for **signals finance and operations already have**—not guesswork on a single site visit.
Checklist we run on site
- Peak vs average load from utility bills or logger exports.
- Roof or rack access, shading, and future expansion bays.
- Inverter form factor constraints and whether monitoring should feed a central dashboard.
