PV mounting in Uri: plan roof fixings and access
A mounting contract starts with how panels will reach your existing roof and how they will be secured. For your property in Uri, we clarify roof construction, material handling and responsibilities between the mounting team, roofer and electrical professional. These define the scope of the quote.
Clarify before quoting
Whether the building is on the valley floor or at a higher elevation, fixing design requires its precise address, roof records and structural information. Elevation, exposure and delivery access need a property-specific assessment. Uri’s notification form also helps establish the procedure for the proposed configuration and location.
Prefer to contact us directly? Send your property address, annual electricity consumption (if known) and preferred timing. Roof photos or existing plans help with the initial assessment.

How this service works in Uri in practice.
These answers help you plan the work and compare quotes on the same basis.
Planning & delivery
Which roof conditions determine the mounting approach?
Before choosing rails and fixing points, the existing roof construction needs to be understood. The following questions help prepare the contract; they do not replace assessment by the relevant professionals.
- Is roof renovation likely? Agree the sequence with the roofer first so new panels do not obstruct later repairs.
- Are the structure or roof layers unknown? Identify missing records and necessary investigations before committing to a fixing system.
- Is the site exposed or at a higher elevation? Explicitly include the wind and snow design basis and assessment of the roof and mounting structure in planning.
- Does the roof have older fibre-cement sheeting? Have the material and resistance to falling through assessed before intervention; Suva flags possible asbestos in buildings built before 1990.

Planning & delivery
How will people and materials reach the roof safely?
Suva requires appropriate fall protection even during the survey and generally prioritises collective protective measures. Access and protection therefore belong in mounting preparation. Future maintenance also requires safe access.
- Discuss deliveries on site: document the staging area, vehicle access and panel transport route to the proposed lifting point.
- Have professionals plan scaffolding and protective measures; identify roof openings and fragile areas during the survey.
- Record who provides scaffolding and lifting equipment and how weather-related delays will be coordinated.

Planning & delivery
What should your mounting quote specify?
Ask for a clear allocation of work. Use this checklist to compare quotes: each item should be marked as included, separately contracted or still to be clarified.
- Fixings: proposed system, connection to the existing structure and responsibility for property-specific design.
- Roof work: alterations to the covering, any penetrations, waterproofing and documentation of concealed connections.
- Site setup: scaffolding, lifting equipment, transport and protection of existing building elements, with corresponding prices.
- Electrical interface: agreed cable routes and responsibility for wiring, inspections and commissioning; record mounting completion and readiness for operation separately.
- Roof-work handover: review the completed panel layout, component list and agreed photographic records together.
Planning & delivery
When can the mounting date in Uri be confirmed?
The cantonal online form directs notification to the municipal building authority and distinguishes notification from a permit application according to system type and location. Match the ordered configuration to the submitted documents and resolve outstanding authority questions before work begins.
- Who submits the documents? Name a responsible person and reference the agreed drawing revision in the mounting contract.
- Has the panel layout changed? Before installation, clarify whether the submitted documents need updating.
- Are roofing and electrical schedules coordinated? Plan the handover between trades with named contacts.
