How to quote solar installs from satellite

You quote a solar install from satellite by tracing the usable roof area on aerial imagery, sizing the array against that space, and pricing it from your per watt rate. It lets you hand a homeowner a real proposal on the first call, well before a truck rolls.

Find the usable roof

Not every square foot of roof can hold panels. Trace the planes that face the right way and sit clear of shade, vents, and setbacks. The usable area is what your array size is built on.

Translate area into system size

A measured usable area maps to a rough panel count and system size. That gives you a wattage to price, which is enough for a credible first proposal you refine on site.

Price from your own rate

Set your price per watt and let the measured system size drive the number. The homeowner sees a real figure the same day, not a vague promise to follow up.

Send the proposal as a link the homeowner can review and accept from their phone, and track the response in your pipeline.
