What a clean install actually looks like on your roof
The difference between a tidy install and a sloppy one is visible from the street once you know what to look for. Straight rail lines, parallel panels, and cable runs that stay under the array rather than looping across the roof are the obvious signs.
Less obvious but more important is isolator placement. A DC isolator mounted in shade, away from weather exposure and oriented to avoid standing water, will outlast one bolted in full sun. Penetrations and flashing matter too — every roof entry should be sealed and reversible, not just siliconed over.
We photograph every install before we leave site, including the cable runs and isolators, and hand those over with the compliance pack. It is the easiest way to see the workmanship you are paying for.
