Saltite issues to consider:

-A south facing roof will get optimum kWh production.  East and west facing roofs work well too if the pitch of the roof is not too steep and shading is minimal.  A site visit will allow for accurate production estimates.

-Allow 300 square feet of unobstructed roof space for the solar panels.

-Chimneys and dormers can create shading, so panels need to be situated away from those.

-Tree shading needs to be minimal. Our site visit calculations will pin point exactly how much shading will occur.
