What to check first
- Arrange qualified structural and electrical assessments
- Check the installer’s comparable project experience
- Define roof access, maintenance and liability in writing

Industrial roofs may have load, access, waterproofing and fire-safety requirements that affect the design. Arrange appropriate assessments before treating roof area as usable installation capacity.
Define responsibility for roof penetrations, maintenance access and any future roof work. Confirm the electrical connection and approvals, then review comparable project references. Technical and legal responsibilities should be written into the agreement rather than left to informal assurances.
