Before & After

Before Installation / After Installation

Before Installation

  • Photograph the roof before work begins
  • Document visible roof appearance
  • Capture useful overall and angled aerial views
  • Establish a visual starting point for project records

After Installation

  • Photograph the completed solar array
  • Capture panel layout from above
  • Photograph the roof and installation from useful angles
  • Create organized imagery for project records
Why It Helps

Why Before-and-After Documentation Is Useful

Comparable aerial imagery can help homeowners, contractors, and property managers maintain a clear visual record of what the roof looked like before and after installation. Where practical, BlueJay attempts to capture similar viewing angles across both flights so the images are easier to compare side by side — though exact matching can't always be guaranteed.
