Solar Panel Installation: Our Process
A solar power system captures the light of the sun and converts it into clean, renewable electricity. It’s an affordable and efficient energy solution, reducing power bills, all while contributing to a more sustainable future for New Zealand. If you want to install solar products for your house or business, read on for some useful information on how our solar system installation process works.
Site assessment
The process begins with a site assessment. Our expert team evaluates the location’s solar power potential, considering factors like sunlight exposure, shading, different roof types, and available space for solar panels. Depending on how much energy you need, you may install a smaller system and upgrade over time.
Solar system design
Once the site assessment is complete, the installation team designs a customized solar system for your roof, ground-mounted structures, or other suitable locations. This design includes the arrangement of solar panels, the choice of inverter, and any necessary electrical components.
Permitting
Before installing the solar panel system, you must obtain the necessary building consent or resource consent from local authorities, if applicable. This ensures your solar system will comply with New Zealand regulations and safety standards.
Panel installation and electrical work
The solar panels, along with the mounting system, are installed on your roof or other location. Wiring and electrical components are connected to the panels, enabling the conversion of sunlight into electricity.
Inverter installation
Inverters are installed in the solar power system to convert the direct current (DC) electricity generated by the solar panels into the alternating current (AC) electricity used in homes and businesses.
Battery installation
Depending on the options you select, our team will install your solar power system battery. Solar systems with a battery can store excess energy for later use outside sunlight hours or during power cuts. The extra energy can also be exported and sold back to your power company.
Connection to the grid
We can connect your solar installation to the electrical grid based on your solar needs. This allows excess power to be exported to the grid or drawn from it when the solar system isn’t generating enough power.
Monitoring system
Our solar experts include monitoring systems that allow homeowners or business owners to track the performance of their solar panels in real time. This helps to show the true impact of their roof panels when it comes to cost efficiency.
Activation
Once the solar power system is approved and passes quality inspection, it is activated, and the solar panels begin producing electricity. The solar power generated can be used to supply energy to your property.
Increased property value
Outside of reducing energy bills, having a solar system installed on your property’s roof can be cost-efficient in other ways. Commercial properties equipped with solar systems tend to have higher property values and can also be attractive to tenants, leading to potential income generation or cost-sharing opportunities.
Enhanced brand image
Solar installations can enhance your brand image and appeal to environmentally–conscious customers and stakeholders. It demonstrates a commitment to green practices and can differentiate your business in the marketplace.
Installing solar panels can provide all sorts of benefits for your New Zealand house or business. It’s a reliable and environmentally friendly way to generate electricity, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and lowering electricity costs.
