Ask where the project is, what work the visitor wants, and how to answer. Keep optional technical context separate from information required to make contact. Do not use the form confirmation to imply the property qualifies, a system has been designed, or a price is approved. Name the actual next office step. The field plan below is a proposed brief. Have your estimator approve it against the work your business accepts. ## Define the inquiry before choosing fields Decide whether this form serves new installations, work on an existing system, or another specific service. If you accept several request types, specify where each one goes. Keep residential and commercial questions distinct where the office needs a different first conversation. Remove choices for work you do not provide. A visitor should not need to understand your internal departments to reach the right person. Write the recipient and first response task at the top of the private brief. Use that task to justify each required answer. ## Ask for the minimum useful project context Use this proposed field map as a starting point: | Proposed field | Purpose | Initial treatment | | --- | --- | --- | | Project area | Check whether the office accepts work there | Required locality or postal code, if sufficient | | Requested work | Understand the visitor's question | Required plain-language answer | | Reply details | Return the requested response | Required contact method approved by the office | | Property relationship | Identify who is making the request | Simple choice with an uncertainty option | | Roof or existing-system notes | Prepare follow-up questions | Optional observations | | Electricity-use context | Support a later discussion where relevant | Optional, clearly labeled units | The Department of Energy identifies roof characteristics, shade, electricity use, and utility rates among relevant solar considerations. Those factors do not establish suitability from a form alone. [Department of Energy's homeowner guide, checked 2026.10.22](https://www.energy.gov/cmei/systems/homeowners-guide-solar). Let visitors say they do not know a technical answer. Do not require a roof measurement, system size, or financial assumption before the office can answer a basic question. ## Keep bills and account credentials out of the first request As a proposed collection rule, leave utility-login credentials, identity documents, and payment details out of the initial form. Ask whether a bill is needed before adding an upload field. If the office later requires a document, specify the approved collection method, recipient, access, and retention. Keep that decision separate from creating an optional field in a website editor. Have the responsible reviewer approve the actual privacy wording and storage destinations. Describe the configured process accurately. Do not promise immediate deletion or confidential handling without verifying it. ## Make required answers and units clear Use visible labels and explain which fields are required. If you request electricity use, distinguish the amount of energy from the amount paid. Ask the office which units it needs. W3C recommends stating required and optional inputs, expected formats, and relevant instructions. Its tutorial explains how instructions can be associated with form controls. [W3C form-instruction guidance, checked 2026.10.22](https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/forms/instructions/). Ask the builder to demonstrate labels, keyboard navigation, and errors in the preview. Test an unknown optional answer and an omitted required reply method. Require correction instructions that a visitor can reach. ## Confirm a request without promising an outcome Use confirmation wording that describes what the website did and what the office does next. Keep any response-time statement tied to an office-approved commitment. W3C recommends clear feedback after both successful and failed submissions, including understandable correction instructions. [W3C notification guidance, checked 2026.10.22](https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/forms/notifications/). Have the builder document failure behavior. A failed send should leave a usable contact alternative and should not display the same outcome as a completed submission. ## Require a matching received inquiry Arrange a labeled test with the receiving office. Use contact details you control. Record the page, entered values, submission time, and visible result. Have staff locate the corresponding request. Compare the project area, question, reply method, and optional answers. Repeat with optional fields empty. If requests follow different routes, test each route separately. Keep the receipt with the configuration evidence. Do not accept a screenshot of a thank-you message as the only proof of delivery. ## Scope the form around your office's first reply The [solar installation overview](/for/solar-installation) connects inquiries with approved quote and job records. Keep website collection distinct from technical assessment and accepted work. Send Scale With Search the approved field map, recipient, and delivery checks through [the written scope form](/work).
