How will solar panels be installed?
The installation process for solar panels typically involves several steps:
Site Assessment: A solar installer will visit the site to assess its suitability for solar panel installation
Design and Proposal: Based on the site assessment, the solar installer will design a solar energy system tailored to the specific needs of the customer.
Permitting and Approvals: Before installation can begin, the necessary permits and approvals must be obtained from local authorities.
Equipment Procurement: Once the necessary permits are obtained, the solar installer will order the solar panels, inverters, mounting hardware, and other necessary equipment.
Installation: The installation process typically involves the following steps:
Roof Preparation: If installing solar panels on the roof, the installer will prepare the roof by securing mounting hardware and ensuring it is structurally sound.
Mounting the Panels: Solar panels are mounted onto the roof or ground-mounted using racking systems. The panels are positioned and secured according to the design plan.
Electrical Wiring: The solar panels are connected to an inverter, which converts the DC electricity generated by the panels into AC electricity suitable for use in homes or businesses.
Connection to the Grid: If the system is grid-tied, the installer will connect the solar energy system to the electrical grid. This may involve installing a bi-directional meter for net metering.
Inspection and Interconnection: After the installation is complete, a final inspection will be conducted to ensure that the system meets building codes and safety standards
Monitoring and Maintenance: Once the solar energy system is operational, it is important to monitor its performance regularly.
