Understand what makes a property suitable for solar investment.
Key Considerations
Roof Characteristics - Orientation : South-facing is ideal (in Northern Hemisphere) - Angle : 15-40 degree tilt works well - Condition : Roof should be in good condition - Shading : Minimal shade from trees or buildings
Energy Consumption - Higher electricity bills = better solar economics - Daytime usage patterns benefit most - Consider future consumption changes
Financial Factors - Available capital or financing options - Current electricity rates - Available incentives and tax credits - Property ownership (renters may have limitations)
