The package that clears PTO the first time
A blurry placard photo can cost two weeks: the utility kicks the package back, someone drives out to reshoot, and the system sits dark while the financing clock runs. The fix is a photo checklist per install — attachments, terminations, labels, readings — shot sharp and organized by milestone, so the package is built before the crew leaves the site. The same set answers the roof-leak call in year three: checklist-driven photos of every sealed penetration, and one link for the homeowner who wants to see what's on their roof.
