Solar panel installation in Australia will vary depending on location, system size, types of panels, and budget.
Initial consultation
The process starts with a professional solar installer visiting your home or business for a site assessment. During this visit, they’ll review your electricity usage, inspect your roof, and recommend the best type and size of solar system to fit your needs. This is also when they’ll provide a quote and help you explore any financial incentives that might be available, which can make the setup more affordable and lower the overall cost.
Design
Once you’re satisfied with the quote, the installer will design a custom solar power system tailored to your home or business. The placement and angle of the panels are key to maximisng the energy you get from the sun. At this stage, they’ll also handle the paperwork to secure any necessary permits before installation begins.
Installation
Once everything is approved, installation can start, and it typically only takes a few days depending on the complexity of the system. First, the mounting system is installed to secure the panels and ensure they’re positioned correctly for optimal sunlight exposure. After that, the solar panels are attached to the mounts and connected to an inverter, which converts the direct current (DC) generated by the panels into alternating current (AC) that can power your home. The final step is connecting the solar system to your electrical panel, completing the installation process.
Inspection
After the installation is finished, a thorough inspection is conducted by the solar installer to ensure that every aspect of the system has been properly installed. This step confirms that the panels are securely mounted, the wiring is safely and correctly connected, and the inverter is functioning as it should. The installer will also verify that the solar system is producing energy efficiently and that all components are working together seamlessly.
In addition to checking the physical installation, they will review the electrical connections to make sure they comply with local building codes and safety standards. The inspection process ensures that your solar system is not only ready to go but also safe and reliable for long-term use.
