What to Expect During Your Solar Installation

What we install

Each installation is different depending on what you choose for your home. However, your solar installation may include:

Solar panles

Solar PV panels installed on your roof. The amount depends on your preferences and the space available.

An interverter

An inverter converts the solar energy your panels generate into usable electrical current. This may be installed in your garage, on external walls or in a utility room.

A battery storage system, if you opt for one. This may be installed in your garage, on external walls or in a utility room.

Battery storage

Before we arrive

Pre-installation prep is minimal; we simply ask that you:

Ensure clear access to all internal and external work areas.

We'll tell you where we need access to ahead of the installation.

Clear the space around the proposed inverter and battery locations.

We'll tell you where these will be ahead of the installation.

Secure pets and keep children away from work areas.

Ensure an adult (18+) is present to give us access to your home and for the system handover.

Scaffolding assembled

Solar panels installed

Electricals installed

Cables connected

Scaffolding will be erected where required for safe access.

Solar panels will be installed using industry-approved mounting systems. Some noise can be expected during this time.

Electrical equipment will be installed internally, typically in your loft, garage, utility room or similar location.

Cabling will be installed between the roof and electrical equipment. The system will be connected to a new customer unit (fuse board), which is separate from your existing board.

Installation typically takes 2 - 3 days, depending on system size, property type and weather conditions.

Minimal disruption

We aim to keep disruptions minimal, however, during installation, you may experience:

• Short interruptions to your electricity supply.

• Increased noise during drilling or fixing.

• Temporary use of driveway or garden space for equipment and materials.

What to expect after your system has been installed.

System commissioning

Clean up work areas

Your system will be fully tested and commissioned.

All work areas will be left clean and tidy.
