Process of Installing Solar Panels
1. Initial Consultation
Our staff will contact you for a first consultation to review your goals, issues, and requirements. Here are some questions you may ask:
- Is there anything I need to know about HOA regulations or local ordinances?
- What is the recommended number of panels, and where should they be installed?
- How much does the installation cost, including equipment, labour, permits, and other fees?
- What equipment and installation warranties are offered?
- Will you provide customer references or installation examples?
2. Site Visit & Physical Assessment
From the initial consultation to the final switch-on, our meticulous planning ensures that your solar installation meets your needs and expectations.
3. Timeline Estimates
- Appointment and Consultation: 1-2 Weeks
- Evaluation of the Site and Energy Use: 1 Week
- Planning and design: 1-2 weeks
- Ordering and Shipping Time: 1-2 Weeks
- Installation: 2-3 days
- Inspection and Commissioning: 1 Week
4. Design and Consultation
The following factors are considered while designing your solar panel system:
- Roof Condition. Roof quality, orientation, and angle should be assessed for solar panel attachment. Make sure the roof can sustain the panels and is structurally sound.
- System Orientation and Tilt. Optimize solar panel orientation and tilt angle to maximize sunshine exposure year-round. Panels usually face south (in the northern hemisphere) and are tilted at the site's latitude.
- Shading Analysis. Shade analysis can reveal solar panel performance-reducing impediments. Take seasonal shading patterns into account.
- Electrical Wiring and Design. Plan wiring, conduits, and electrical connections to reduce energy losses and comply with electrical codes.
5. Solar Installation and Mounting
- Attach racking or mounting systems securely to the roof.
- Connect solar panels to inverters and route wiring properly to the electrical panel.
- Inverter installation. Install inverters in a suitable location.
- Ensure proper system grounding to protect against electrical faults.
Our qualified technicians securely install the solar panels to ensure they absorb the most sunlight possible.
