Modelling

PV Forecasting and Solar Readiness

Production estimates and planning notes to support solar decisions with assumptions clearly stated.

Fit and next step

Use this scope when it helps the next decision.

The quote request can start with the service selected. Files are still optional at intake.

When this is useful

  • You need to compare upgrade paths before committing budget.
  • Assumptions need to be visible before the design or retrofit path is locked.
  • Energy, solar, or GHG decisions need a scenario-based view.

What you receive

  • A comparison of relevant scenarios with assumptions stated clearly.
  • Notes on the inputs that most affect the result.
  • A practical next step for design, procurement, or documentation.

Solar planning works best when the assumptions are visible. We help you understand what the roof and building context can support before you commit to hardware or a layout.

Useful for

  • production estimates
  • roof planning
  • shading and constraint notes
  • future-ready upgrade planning

What you receive

  • a planning-level forecast
  • notes on assumptions and limits
  • a clear read on whether the project is worth pursuing further

Start with the right route

Separate new service requests from decision support and active-project help.

Use the routing page first when you already have a report, already have contractor quotes, or the file is already in motion.
