What to Expect During a Combined Solar PV and Heat Pump Survey with Megawave

Kickstarting Your Hybrid Renewable System Journey

A hybrid renewable system survey is the handshake before a long-term partnership with your home’s energy needs. We’re talking solar PV panels soaking up every ray of sunshine, battery storage keeping that energy safe, and an air source heat pump ready to warm – or cool – your space. This survey isn’t a tick-box exercise. It’s a tailored walkthrough of your roof, wiring and heating to deliver efficiency, savings and eco-credibility.

In this guide, you’ll discover each step of the hybrid renewable system survey. We’ll cover your initial chat, remote roof scan, on-site technical check and the clever brainwork behind the final design. Whether you’re curious about government grants or want real figures on your energy bill, this survey gives you the roadmap. Ready to start? Join our hybrid renewable system survey for an Eco-Friendly Heating Revolution and see how you can save.

Preparing for Your Hybrid Renewable System Survey

Initial Consultation: Laying the Groundwork

The first step is a friendly chat. Think of it as a coffee catch-up – but about energy. Our surveyor will:

  • Ask about your annual electricity use, heating bills and daily routines
  • Discuss any quirks: split-level extensions, tricky loft access or a south-facing conservatory
  • Go over grants, finance options and how zero-carbon refrigerant like R290 keeps your carbon footprint down

Having your latest energy bill to hand speeds things up. And if you’re ready for numbers, why not Request your bespoke heat pumps installation quotation to see how an air source heat pump fits your budget?

The Remote Assessment: Digital Discovery

Next, we switch to digital mode. Using aerial images and best-in-class modelling software, our team:

  • Creates 2D or 3D models of your roof and garden
  • Maps optimal panel placement, inverter spots and battery storage areas
  • Checks structural load limits (no nasty surprises on tile strength or wind loading)
  • Draws sun-path diagrams to pinpoint peak generation times
  • Estimates financial returns, payback period and carbon saved

This step cuts down on site visits. It also means we can flag anything odd—like overhanging trees—before booking van and tools. Once you’ve seen the draft plan and fine-tuned any details, you’ll have a clear sight of system performance. Then we move on to the hands-on bit.

On-Site Technical Survey: Getting Hands-On

Structural and Safety Check

Time to meet your home in person. Our installer will:

  • Inspect roof trusses, rafters and fixings for safe panel mounting
  • Check loft access, meter cupboards and boiler room for wiring runs
  • Identify hazards—loose tiles, tricky chimney flashings or damp patches
  • Measure clearances for heat pump outdoor units and scaffolding

A solid inspection keeps everyone safe and prevents hold-ups. We’ll note any reinforcement needed or extra materials for a rock-solid install. Once we’ve got the all-clear, we lock down the layout.

Final Design Confirmation

With remote insights and on-site findings in balance, we fine-tune:

  • Solar PV string sizes, panel angles and inverter siting
  • Battery storage capacity based on your usage patterns
  • Heat pump model selection and ideal indoor unit placement
  • Wiring routes, isolation points and smart control integration

This is the moment everything clicks into place. You’ll get a full breakdown: system spec, cost, savings forecast and grant eligibility. Then all that’s left is installation.
