DRAFT — outline only. Do not publish until the figures below are verified. Keep this guide inactive until it is written.

Angle: When raising the panel structure above obstructions is worth the extra cost.

This guide must answer: - What problems does elevated mounting solve (tank shade, parapet, usable area)? - How much does it add to cost? - What structural assessment does it need? - When is it essential vs nice-to-have?

Writing rules: answer the question in the first two sentences, put a real number in the opening paragraph, name the specific city or DISCOM where the answer varies, and link to two related guides and the relevant category page.

Verify before publishing: Elevated-mounting cost premium locally.
