Calculate the average electricity cost per unit by using the principle of dividing the electricity cost during the daytime and nighttime.
Refine the data to determine the number of units used per hour during sunlight hours.
Roof strength
Check the roof for sufficient strength to support the weight of the solar panels.
Check for cracks, leaks, or damage and repair if necessary
Roof shapes or designs of houses
