Specify performance as well as appearance
For sheet materials, record dimensions, thickness, material grade, finish, intended location and installation method. For windows, define the opening, profile, glazing, fittings and finish. For fasteners, state material, size, thread, coating and the application. A photograph alone cannot establish suitability.
Clarify what solar means for your project
A solar panel, flexible module, roofing product and installation component serve different purposes. Identify the exact product, electrical specification, mounting approach, operating environment and the evidence the installer requires. Do not treat all products described as solar sheets as interchangeable.
Compare the project quantity and packaging
Record the quantities, cut sizes, allowable substitutions, sample requirements and delivery sequence. Ask how sheets, glazing and profiles will be protected in transit, and whether the packed dimensions change the freight route. Include handling, storage and offloading constraints at the South African site.
Approve the product-specific evidence
Ask for reports and specifications that cover the exact proposed product and intended use. The project's responsible designer, installer or competent reviewer should confirm the relevant requirements. Import Falcon coordinates sourcing and quotation questions; catalogue images do not establish structural, fire, electrical or installation compliance.
