Top 4 Reasons for Third Party Owner (TPO) Rejections—and How to Avoid Them
Remote-only tools have inherent accuracy issues. These lead to financing rejections or delays due to improper shade analysis, production estimate deltas, missing internal information, or inconsistent site data. Contractors that leverage drones and mobile apps fix this issue, especially if done presale because they deliver objective, real-time, on-site data that cannot be manipulated.
5 Reasons to Combine Your Drone Program and Design Software
A centralized software platform that merges your design tools with photorealistic drone data leads to more accurate layouts, cost savings, and reduced friction with finance providers. Instead of getting stuck with multiple subscriptions or being forced into a specific type of drone, find a solution that is tailored to your solar business.
“It’s About The Future Of Energy”: How Solar Can Power New Economic Growth In Canada
Canada is a diverse country with significant regional differences in electrical grids, energy pricing, and attitudes to renewable energy. However, sentiment is strengthening in favor of solar, for both economic and energy production reasons. Three Contractors (SkyFire Energy, Sunly, and Riverside Energy) spoke with Scanifly about Canada’s solar evolution and their views on the future of the industry.
Don’t Get Locked into a Specific Drone: Here Are 4 Reasons Why
Being locked into a specific drone or a drone ecosystem is often inadequate for comprehensive surveying, O&M, and marketing needs—and you typically pay more. Instead, work with a platform like Scanifly that integrates with any drone (i.e. drone agnostic), enabling you to select the right model, price point, and feature set for your business.
The Mavic 2 Pro was a darling of the drone world since its launch in 2018; it was affordable and worked for multiple use cases,
What Makes a Good (or Bad) Plan Set?
Plan sets require comprehensive on-site data, including measurements of every roof plane, internal surveying analysis, and details regarding any niche AHJ or utility rules. Designing plan sets in-house can be valuable, especially for ultra-complex projects and when local regulation knowledge is key. Outsourcing plan set creation to a trusted third party means quick (< 48-hour) turnaround times and more opportunity to flex up and down as your team needs change.
Why On-site Data is Crucial for Solar Designers
Designers need a plethora of information to build a full plan set—most of which comes from an on-site survey. When Surveyors collect on-site information with drones and mobile apps, Designers can easily access everything they need to streamline plan set development.
4 Ways Good Designs Lead to Higher Close Rates
When project owners can visualize their new solar array on a photorealistic 3D model of their property, they are more likely to feel confident in their purchasing decision. This won’t work with 2D layouts or overly technical CAD renders; using drones, mobile apps, and other technology to capture site data to best inform a design will inspire buyers.
Are Your Surveys Perfectly Accurate? You Might Still Be Missing Something
Even if manual surveying methods work today, they may not work tomorrow (or any day your star Surveyor is sick, takes vacation, or burns out). Rather than rely on overly conservative measurements or setbacks, use technology to keep the accuracy you currently have while improving safety and reducing bodily wear-and-tear. You’ll also benefit from streamlining your project workflows and information handoffs from Surveyors to Designers, Procurement, and Installers.
