Site Assessments

Overview

The Site Assessments sub-module helps EPC vendors and solar professionals evaluate the technical and financial feasibility of solar installations. It builds upon survey data to calculate energy production, savings, ROI, and environmental impact. This ensures customers get accurate project insights before installation.

Why Site Assessments?

The Site Assessments feature allows businesses to:

  • Record energy consumption patterns for better system sizing.
  • Perform roof analysis (material, age, condition).
  • Estimate system size (kW), annual production (kWh), and annual savings ($).
  • Provide recommendations, including panel count, ROI, payback period, and carbon offset.
  • Maintain a structured database of assessments for leads and sites.
  • Improve decision-making with accurate feasibility studies.

Accessing Site Assessments

  • Log in to CrmLeaf.
  • Expand the Solar module from the left-hand side menu.
  • Click on Site Assessments.
