There are several stages necessary to a successful installation.
1.The assessment
Our Energy Consultants will advise you to find the right solution to achieve your energy goals. We look at your energy bills, your roof (both structurally and in terms of orientation, pitch, and size) and your energy consumption.
2. The design
We come back to you with a quote. It includes everything you’d want to know on the financial side, a proposed layout for your approval, and output forecasts.
3. The paperwork
The STCs and PTCs of it all. Your solar PV system will interact with the grid, feeding energy into it, so you need permission to connect it to the grid – with your local electrical distributor. In NSW, it’s either Endeavour, Ausgrid or Essential. Don’t worry, we sort that out for you. We’ll provide you with paperwork for completion and signing, and make the application on your behalf.
This also applies to the creation and assignment of your Small Technology Certificates – the government incentives provided to encourage people to install solar – and for good reason. It takes the pressure off the grid in summer.
4. The smart meter
We help you arrange your new smart meter for minimum wait time between installation and on so you can start saving with solar sooner.
5. The installation
We arrive with all materials and equipment required for installation. Your system is installed by in-house CEC Accredited Electricians, for your peace of mind. We generally allocate at least a day to each residential installation (2kW to 10kW) so everything is done correctly.
6. The commissioning
Your system is turned on and tested to make sure everything is in working order, then it is connected to the grid.
7. Ongoing support & service
Now you can start saving money with your solar PV system. We provide a 10-year installation warranty on top of the manufacturer warranties from your solar components. After installation, you are provided with the user manual, electrical compliance certificates and warranties to help you with system maintenance. Additionally, the panels we recommend have strong product warranties. Our top solar panel brands offer a massive 25-year Product & Performance warranty. That is over 2 decades of peace of mind and support from the panel manufacturer. When recommending solar panels, we look at factors such as Reliability, Durability, Efficiency, Warranties and Customer Support from the manufacturers. Further details on warranties are provided on our solar panel & inverter pages, and data sheets.
