What a Menifee quote needs to explain
| Check | Ask each bidder |
|---|---|
| Roof work before a new array | Ask whether roof repair or replacement belongs before the new array, who owns that scope, and whether it is included or excluded from the written bid. |
| Roof work with existing panels | For an existing system, ask who owns the equipment, who may authorize work, and who accepts removal, reinstallation and warranty responsibility. Do not assume that a new-system bidder provides those services. |
| Outage goal and selected loads | If backup is part of the project, name the selected loads, intended outage duration and the equipment proposed for that job. Keep backup capability separate from a bill-savings model. |
| New array and written bid scope | Have each bidder list the proposed array, roof and electrical scope, permit responsibilities, monthly production assumptions, and every excluded item in writing. |

Use these guides to prepare the specific questions a written bid needs to answer.
A comparison to ask for
Compare written bids only after the roof, electrical work, equipment ownership and project scope are clear. A lower payment can hide roof work, removal and reinstallation, backup equipment, or a different system design.

Menifee solar quote questions
Does Menifee use one solar permit route for every project?
No. Menifee's published requirements distinguish eligible SolarAPP+ plans from other plans, and distinguish new solar from additions to existing systems and energy-storage work. Confirm the route and approved scope for the actual project.
Should an existing solar system be handled like a new Menifee array?
No. Confirm equipment ownership, authorization for roof work, removal and reinstallation responsibility, and warranty responsibility before treating an existing-system job as a new-array proposal.
