Nationwide Site Surveys for Solar PV & Air Source Heat Pump Design

A successful renewable energy installation starts with a comprehensive site survey. At Grid Guru, we provide professional site surveys for both Solar PV and Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) installations, ensuring every system is designed for maximum efficiency, compliance, and long-term performance. Our surveys help identify potential challenges, optimize system placement, and ensure compliance with MCS and Building Regulations.

Why Choose Our Site Survey Service?


Our surveys ensure that your project is:


  • Accurately assessed for optimal system design and performance

  • Compliant with MCS, Building Regulations, and grid connection standards

  • Planned to minimise installation challenges and maximize efficiency

  • Tailored to your site-specific conditions for the best results


What’s Included in Our Site Survey?


Solar PV Site Survey


Property & Roof Assessment

  • Evaluation of roof structure, tilt, and orientation for solar panel suitability.

  • Assessment of ground-mounted solar feasibility if required.


Shading Analysis

  • Full shading assessment to determine potential obstructions (trees, buildings, chimneys).

  • Use of solar path analysis tools to calculate annual sunlight exposure.


System Placement & Design Recommendations

  • Optimal panel placement for maximum generation.

  • Recommendations on inverter location and cable routing.


Grid Connection & Compliance Check

  • Assessment for G98/G99 connection approval.

  • MCS and Building Regulations compliance check.


Air Source Heat Pump Site Survey


Heat Loss Assessment

  • Room-by-room heat loss calculations to determine required heat pump size.

  • Evaluation of existing insulation and heating distribution (radiators or underfloor heating).


Outdoor Unit Location Assessment

  • Best placement for the ASHP outdoor unit for optimal airflow and minimal noise impact.

  • Consideration of distance from property, accessibility, and aesthetics.


System Efficiency & Integration Check

  • Assessment of flow temperatures, pipework routing, and hot water cylinder compatibility.

  • Recommendations on buffer tanks and heat pump controllers.


Regulatory & Planning Considerations

  • Ensuring compliance with MCS, Part L (energy efficiency), and Part P (electrical safety).

  • Planning permission guidance if required for listed buildings or conservation areas.
