Site survey

Survey shading and assess the PV project during the site visit

Prepare the project, measure site conditions and discuss the calculated results with the customer. Keep the survey data and analysis together in the same Azimutis project.

Before the visit: prepare the project

Create the project in the Azimutis web portal and add the information already available. Synchronise it with the mobile app to add the site measurements during the visit.

On site: capture the actual conditions

Carry out the shading survey with your smartphone. Measure orientation, tilt and usable area, then mark obstacles for the module layout. Add customer information, notes and site photos.

Review the captured points and calculate shading losses and their impact on PV production.

Height simulation also lets you assess shading at roof height from a ground-level survey, without climbing onto the roof.

Analyse and discuss project configurations

Plan the module layout, determine installable capacity and review the estimated production and losses. Analyse self-consumption, battery storage and savings using the customer’s consumption and financial assumptions.

Duplicate the project to compare variants. The on-site PV assessment guide explains the calculation steps.

Arrange the other project checks

Review the energy and economic results alongside the structural, grid-connection and electrical-design checks required for the installation. See the PV feasibility assessment.

Frequently asked questions

Can I prepare the site visit on a computer?

Yes. Create and prepare the project in the web portal, then synchronise it with the mobile app.

Which results can I present during the visit?

Shading losses, estimated production, module layout, installable capacity, self-consumption, battery impact and economic indicators, depending on the project inputs.
