 Roof Layout - Measurements Must be External measurement
Using the template below indicate the roof dimensions of the proposed roof (Birdseye View Diagram), Measurements of any roof obstructions must be
noted on the diagram as these may effect the proposed layout. Indicate the proposed layout of the panels on the diagram, Showing the panels in either
Portrait or Landscape layout indicating the amount that will fit on the usable roof space. (Ensure there is a 500mm gap to the edge of the roof on all sides)
If Panel size is not provided consider each individual panel to measure 1014mm x 1662mm (This dimension takes into account the space between each
panels) If more than 1 PV roof duplicate this page.
The below has been given to help assist you. In some cases it may not represent the actual roof. In this case use page 4 to produce your own.
