Typical Solar Panel Installation Process

1. Quotation and Contract Signing

After coming to an agreement on the type of solar panel most suited to your home, we seal the deal with a contract.

2. Engineer Site Visit

A solar panel engineer will visit your property to evaluate the electrical status of your home and check its compatibility with the new energy system.

3. Logistics, Permits, and Documents

Prior to the actual solar panel installation, certifications and permits need to be secured. No need to worry as this step is done by the contractor.

4. Acquiring Panels and Inverters and Setting the Installation Schedule

Your contractor places the order for the types of panels and inverters you chose based on the contract. The best date and time to perform the installation is scheduled.

5. Solar Panel Installation

The installation proper may take one full day to three days, depending on the type of solar panel used. Here’s an outline of the general process:

• A solar panel installer visits your home to prepare the roof and make sure it is securely attached.
• He or she will, then, put in electrical wiring that connects to your general power system and electrical panel.
• Racking support is installed on the roof and then, the panels are attached to it.
• Inverters are connected to the panels to convert DC energy to AC.

6. Approval and Interconnection

Once installed, a member of the local council in charge of inspecting solar power systems will visit your home. If all is well and the local council grants approval to connect your system to the electrical grid, a representative from your solar panel contractor, does a final inspection before giving you a go signal. This step may take 2-4 weeks.
