Client and property: full client name, client email and complete property address. Record the inspection date and who was present; add a phone number when available.
System: enter the panel count. Select the installer when known, or use Check installer for permit research. Record wattage and system size when known.
Battery and inverter screen: answer both questions in the Assisted form. A Yes answer requires the corresponding photo. Use the unable-to-determine or unable-to-inspect option when appropriate.

Do not guess missing information. Enter the address before uploading. Use Save draft to pause and return later.

Upload the photos in their matching slots

The form includes reference photos. Capture equipment from safe, accessible viewpoints and work within your qualifications.
