This checklist guides a complete appraisal of commercial roofs prior to solar PV installation. It covers site details and roof information including construction type, geometry, pitch, heights, and distances. Record truss, purlin, and joist member sizes and spacing for timber, steel, and flat roofs. Document visual observations such as deflection, rot, previous works, and any hazards or insurance considerations above ten meters. Capture a full photo set of elevations and structural elements, and add panel arrangement diagrams with dimensions and panel weight. Include network and existing equipment notes where relevant to confirm structural suitability and safe installation planning.
