Takeaway:<\/strong> Remote-only tools have inherent accuracy issues. These lead to financing rejections or delays due to improper shade analysis, production estimate deltas, missing internal information, or inconsistent site data. Contractors that leverage drones and mobile apps fix this issue, especially if done presale because they deliver objective, real-time, on-site data that cannot be manipulated.<\/p>\n

Lease financing providers (called Third Party Owners or TPOs) require a variety of data to issue milestone payments.<\/p>\n

While initial estimates are often enough to get a project started, any errors or omissions need to be trued up; if they aren\u2019t, TPOs may reject a submission and kick more work back to the Contractor.<\/p>\n

Rejections are most common in situations where Contractors over-rely on remote imagery-based analysis for shading and where site data might be missing or incomplete\u2014here are the top four reasons for TPO rejections and how to avoid them.<\/p>\n

1. Incorrect or missing shade analysis<\/h4>\n

Shading analysis issues are the most common reason for rejections \u2014 40% of rejections are tied to shading. This occurs because TPOs are mindful of maintaining production and offset, so forecasting the actual system performance as closely as possible is essential for project economics.<\/p>\n

Shade-related rejections often occur from incorrectly modeling parts of a scene:<\/p>\n
