Steps Involved in the Solar Installation Process
Installing solar panels is a complex process that requires careful planning and execution to ensure efficiency, safety, and compliance with regulations. Here are the key steps involved in the solar installation process for both residential and commercial projects:
Step 1: Solar Energy Consultation
The first step is understanding your energy needs and assessing the feasibility of installing solar panels on your property. During this consultation, we will:
- Discuss your energy consumption patterns.
- Assess your property for solar suitability, including roof orientation, shading, and available space.
- Answer any questions you have about solar energy and the installation process.
Step 2: Solar Site Assessment and Design
After the initial consultation, we will conduct a detailed site assessment to determine the best layout for your solar system. This step involves:
- Measuring your roof or installation area.
- Identifying any potential shading issues
- Determining the optimal angle and orientation for solar panels.
- Designing a custom solar system that meets your energy needs and complies with local regulations.
Step 3: Municipal Permits and Approvals
Before installation can begin, you'll need to obtain the necessary permits and approvals from local authorities. We will handle this process, which may include:
- Submitting the solar design plans to local building and electrical departments for approval.
- Coordinating with utility companies for grid connection & net metering arrangements.
- Ensuring compliance with safety codes and regulations, including SANS requirements.
Step 4: Installation of Solar Equipment
With permits and approvals in place, the installation can begin. This step typically involves:
- Installing mounting hardware on your roof or other installation area.
- Securing solar panels to the mounts, ensuring proper alignment and tilt.
- Connecting the panels to the inverter, which converts DC power to AC power.
- Running electrical wiring from the inverter to your main electrical panel.
- Installing additional equipment, such as battery storage systems or monitoring devices.
Step 5: Solar Inspection and Testing
Once the installation is complete, the system must undergo inspection and testing to ensure it meets safety standards and operates correctly. This step includes:
- Inspection by local building or electrical inspectors to verify compliance with codes.
- Testing the solar system to ensure it's producing power as expected.
- Configuring any monitoring systems to track energy production and usage.
- Issuance of CoC upon completion of your installation, certifying that your solar system is safe and compliant.
Step 6: Solar Connection to the Grid
After passing inspection, the solar system can be connected to the electrical grid. This step involves:
- Coordinating with the utility company for grid connection.
- If applicable, setting up net metering allows you to receive credit for excess power sent back to the grid.
- Finalising any utility agreements and paperwork.
Step 7: Ongoing Solar Maintenance and Support
Once the solar system is up and running, you'll need to maintain it to ensure optimal performance. This step involves:
- Regular inspections and cleaning of solar panels.
- Monitoring system performance to detect any issues early.
- Addressing any maintenance needs or repairs promptly.
- Solar system optimisation.
