The first step in installing solar panels into a residential home is to conduct a site assessment and design the system. This involves evaluating the home’s energy needs, the roof’s orientation and pitch, and the available space for the solar panels. A professional solar installer will conduct a site visit and evaluate the site’s suitability for solar, considering factors such as shading, roof age and condition, and the home’s electrical system.
Once the site assessment is complete, the installer will design the solar panel system, considering the homeowner’s energy needs and budget. This design will include the number of panels required, their size, and the type of inverter that will be needed to convert the solar energy into usable electricity.

Before installation can begin, the necessary permits and paperwork must be obtained. This can vary depending on the location of the home and the regulations of the local government. As a professional solar panel installer we will handle all the paperwork and obtain any necessary permits on your behalf.

The next step is to prepare the roof for the installation of the solar panels. This involves ensuring that the roof is clean and free of debris, as well as any necessary repairs or maintenance. We may also need to reinforce the roof to ensure it can support the weight of the panels.

The solar panels are then mounted onto the roof using a state of the art, lightweight racking system. The type of racking system used will depend on the roof's material, orientation, and pitch. In most cases, the racking system is attached to the roof using bolts or screws. The solar panels are then attached to the racking system using clamps.
Next
Once the solar panels are mounted onto the roof, the wiring and inverter can be installed. The wiring is run from the panels through the roof and into the home’s electrical system. The inverter is typically installed in a garage or utility room, and it converts the DC electricity generated by the solar panels into AC electricity that can be used to power the home.
Next
Before the system can be connected to the grid, it must be inspected. Our electrician will check that the system meets all safety and electrical code requirements. Once the system has passed inspection, it can be connected to the grid. This involves installing a bi-directional meter that measures the amount of electricity the system produces and feeds back into the grid. The homeowner can then start using solar-generated electricity to power their home.
Next
After the solar panel system is installed and connected to the grid, it is important to monitor its performance and conduct regular maintenance to ensure it continues to function properly. This includes monitoring the system’s energy production, cleaning the panels to ensure they are free of dirt and debris, and checking for any damage or wear and tear.
