Regardless of your organization's preferred tool, members should be aware that all designs are subject to change after site survey verification. Homeowners should likewise be aware that all designs are finalized only after the site survey.

Note: Times may vary based on queue volume. To avoid potential delays, input your manual design request in advance.
Best Practice | Details |
Minimum Productive Surfaces/TSRF | TSRF 60%. Palmetto can allow panels to be placed beyond this threshold by executive decision of lead designers, however, in general, we will avoid these "dead" surfaces when possible. |
Notes for Designers | Members should use full and concise notes. Cardinal directions and/or coordinates are helpful for identifying specific roof surfaces which are being requested in any designer notes. |
Installable Surfaces | While each site may be unique, in general, Palmetto will install on surfaces which are supported with full attic trusses/structures. This means that places like porches or carports will be avoided. |
