Residential Solar Panel Home Installation

For a residential solar energy system, the most common location for the installation of solar photovoltaic panels is the roof.

Most residential roofs in the state typically have the desired specifications for the installation.

Moreover, with the most ideal weather conditions in this sunny state, the panels will be installed to get maximum sunlight. We will make sure that there are no objects blocking your residential solar panels’ access to the sun.

You can expect our expert solar installers to do the following steps during your solar panel home installation:

1. Scaffolding Set Up

First, we will erect the scaffolding to ensure safety during the whole installation process when our installers are on your roof.

2. Installation of the Solar Panel Mounts

Our expert technicians will then set up the residential solar panel mounting system which will support the base of your solar panels. We will tilt the whole mounting structure to the perfect angle where your home solar panels will be able to have maximum sunlight exposure. The angle will be between 18 and 36 degrees for solar efficiency.

3. Installation of the Solar Panels

Once the solar mounts are properly set up on your roof, we will install your residential solar panels on your mounting structure. You are assured that our experienced solar installers will tighten up all the bolts and nuts so that your home solar panels will stay stable.

4. Wiring the Solar Panels

This next step in the home solar panel installation process involves installing the electrical wiring. We use the best quality wiring suited for all types of solar panels and make sure that we carry out all wiring safely.

5. Installation of the Solar Inverter

We have the best-trained home solar panel installation technicians who know how to properly connect a solar inverter to your system.

We typically install it near the main panel either indoors or outdoors, but we recommend that they be kept in a cooler place for maximum efficiency.

If you prefer that it will be installed outdoors, we will ensure that it is kept out from the afternoon sun.

The garage or utility room in your home is usually the best place where they are installed indoors because they can stay cool for most of the year.

6. Installation of the Solar Battery

Having a solar battery will allow you to be able to store excess electricity that you generate from your residential solar panels.

This stored energy can be accessed when the weather is not very ideal for solar generation like cloudy days and during winter.

We install the best quality solar batteries where your inverter is connected. This will lower your solar battery storage system costs during the residential solar panel installation.

7. Connecting the Inverter to the Consumer Unit

Our technicians will connect your inverter to your consumer unit to generate electricity.

We will also connect a generation meter to monitor the amount o
