A solar feasibility report should show what is known, what is assumed, and what decision comes next.
Feasibility work is valuable when clients can see the evidence, confidence level, caveats, and next action without confusing advisory assumptions for final guarantees.
Best for
Solar consultants producing go/no-go reports, portfolio screening, or early-stage commercial PV recommendations.
What to include before the client sees the pack.
These sections are written to be useful in the workflow itself: intake prompts, document sections, review checks, and client handoff content.
Feasibility narrative
The report should answer the client's decision question first.
Solar snapshot
Give a concise view of the assumptions behind the recommendation.
Decision appendix
Make the report easier to approve by giving the client a path forward.
Questions about solar feasibility report guide.
Clear answers help the consultant and client agree on what is known, what is assumed, what is excluded, and what should happen next.
What is a solar feasibility report?
A solar feasibility report is an advisory document that evaluates whether a site or portfolio appears suitable for solar based on goals, site conditions, utility data, usage, production assumptions, economics caveats, risks, and next steps.
What should a feasibility report not claim?
It should not claim final permit approval, stamped engineering, guaranteed incentives, guaranteed production, exact savings, or final construction pricing unless those items have been verified by qualified parties and are in scope.
How should production estimates be presented?
Production estimates should show system size, assumed production factor or model source, losses, monthly or annual output, confidence level, and warnings for missing roof, shading, weather, or equipment inputs.
Can Solardeck generate feasibility report sections?
Yes. Solardeck can generate executive summary, solar snapshot, assumptions, production and economics appendix, risks, missing-data request, milestones, and PDF handoff from a structured intake.
Is PVWatts required?
No. Solardeck can use manual estimate mode. Optional PVWatts support can improve credibility when configured, but the workflow should still show assumptions and caveats.

Commercial solar proposal guide
Commercial buyers need to understand the site, utility context, assumptions, risk, responsibilities, and decision path before they trust a solar recommendation.
Solar client intake questions
A structured intake reduces guessing, exposes missing data early, and gives the consultant a defensible source of truth for the proposal pack.
Turn this guidance into a reviewed solar proposal workflow.
Solardeck turns intake answers into proposal sections, SOW phases, assumptions, missing-data requests, tracker items, and PDF-ready handoffs.
