Field Operations

Core operational procedures for all Wadadli Solar field activities.

Every technician — from apprentice to senior specialist — operates within these standards. These are not suggestions. They are the baseline for safe, professional, documented field work.

  • Site Arrival SOP

    Pre-arrival checklist, arrival sequence, site orientation, and initial documentation requirements.

Non-Negotiables

Always Active

These rules apply at every site, every time, regardless of timeline pressure:

  1. No work without appropriate PPE. If it's missing, stop and get it.
  2. No roof access in active rain or storm. Check weather before departure.
  3. Document before you touch anything. Photo evidence precedes all work.
  4. Announce all disconnects. Anyone on site must know power is being interrupted.
  5. If something feels wrong, stop. Trust your instincts. Ask. Escalate.
