What the photos can help you compare.
Roof material and mounting
Shingle, tile, metal and flat roofs present different installation questions. Use these photos to explain the kind of roof you have, then ask how attachments, flashing, roof condition and access will be reviewed for your property. The visible layout is only one part of a complete system design.
Roof shape and usable space
Separate roof planes, existing equipment and nearby trees can influence a proposed layout. Bring a recent utility bill into the same discussion so roof space is considered alongside electricity use. A photograph does not establish a system’s production, capacity or backup capability.
Photography from Origin’s official Facebook and Instagram accounts. Some images show different angles or stages of the same project. Captions describe visible features; project locations, system sizes and savings are not inferred from photos.
