Thinking about installing solar but not sure what the process actually involves?
A professional solar installation is about much more than putting panels on a roof. Here's what you can expect when working with an experienced solar installer.
1. Energy Assessment
The process starts by understanding how your home or business uses electricity. Your consumption, existing electrical system, roof space, and backup requirements all help determine the right solution.
2. Solar System Design
Your installer should then design a system around your specific requirements.
This includes selecting the appropriate solar panels, inverter, battery storage, and electrical protection rather than simply offering a standard package.
3. Installation
Once the system is approved, the installation team gets to work.
Solar panels are installed, the inverter and batteries are connected, and the necessary electrical work is completed according to the system design.
4. Testing & Commissioning
Before your system is switched on, everything needs to be tested and commissioned correctly.
This ensures the equipment is communicating properly, safety systems are functioning, and the solar installation is ready to operate as intended.
5. Compliance & Handover
Depending on the installation, your project may also require electrical certification and municipal or SSEG processes.
A professional installer can guide you through these requirements so you're not left trying to navigate the process alone.
