5 Important Things to Check Before Installing Rooftop Solar in Narmadapuram

## Pre-Installation Checklist for Rooftop Solar

Installing solar is a 25-year investment. Before booking an installation, here are 5 essential engineering checks our team at Sunlife Solar Energy Solution conducts during every site assessment:

1. **Roof Structural Strength & Accessibility**: Concrete RCC flat roofs are ideal. For tin sheds or industrial roofs, structure thickness and load-bearing capacities must be verified.
2. **Shadow Analysis**: Identify trees, parapet walls, water tanks, or nearby buildings that cast shadows between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
3. **Current Sanctioned Load (kW)**: Check your latest DISCOM electricity bill. The rooftop solar capacity cannot exceed your sanctioned electrical load without applying for load enhancement.
4. **Earthing & Surge Protection Route**: Ensure adequate space near the building for 2 to 3 separate earthing pits (AC, DC, and Lightning Protection).
5. **Quality of Hardware & Wiring**: Verify that UV-resistant DC solar cables, IP65-rated junction boxes, and corrosion-resistant GI structures are specified in the engineering proposal.
