A roof that can hold panels… isn’t always ready for your solar project.
It’s what happens behind the scenes — and on paper — that keeps your installation moving.
The Hidden Risks in Roof-Mount Projects
In roof-mount projects, small oversights can snowball into major delays. Here’s what many project teams miss:
Critical Questions You Must Answer
Structural Integrity Assessment
Has the roof’s integrity been assessed for both active and passive loads — over the full lifetime of the solar asset?
- Active loads: Solar panels, mounting systems, maintenance equipment
- Passive loads: Wind, snow/water accumulation, thermal expansion
- Long-term considerations: 25+ year asset life
Certificate of Compliance (CoC)
Is your Certificate of Compliance in place?
- Required documentation for regulatory approval
- Must be obtained before installation commences
- Ensures structural adequacy and compliance
Building Certifier Engagement
Has a local building certifier been engaged?
- Early engagement prevents approval delays
- Local certifiers understand regional requirements
- Their sign-off is mandatory for project completion
Conditions Understanding
Do you fully understand the conditions you (and your contractors) must meet?
- Contract conditions and responsibilities
- Building code compliance requirements
- Safety and quality standards
- Documentation and reporting obligations
These steps might seem trivial, but skip them and you could be looking at a project that stalls midstream — costing time, money, and reputation.
