Prepare electricity bills, roof photos from several angles, electrical-board photos, site location and the period of highest electricity use.

Prepare photos of the water source, existing pump, pipe route, delivery point, approximate elevation, water-use zones and coordinates.

Prepare photos of the electrical board, main breaker, installation point, route distance and the vehicle or target equipment specification.

Send what you already have. The team can use the first information to identify what should be measured or prepared before a survey.

An electricity bill, board photo, roof photo, water-source photo or site pin is enough to start a more focused conversation.
