Initial Consultation and Site Assessment

The initial step in the installation process is to arrange an initial consultation with our team of experts. During this meeting, we'll discuss your energy objectives, evaluate your property's potential for energy generation, and address any inquiries you may have about the installation process. Our skilled technicians will perform a comprehensive site assessment to analyze factors like roof orientation, shading, and structural integrity, aiding in the identification of the optimal location for panels and equipment.

Our goal is to provide you with a safe, reliable, and efficient solar energy solution that meets your energy needs and exceeds your expectations.

System Commissioning and Testing

Once the solar panels are installed and connected, our team will commission the system and perform thorough testing to ensure that everything is working correctly. This includes verifying the performance of individual solar panels, checking the functionality of inverters and other components, and testing the overall system for proper operation. We will also conduct a final inspection to ensure that the installation meets our high standards of quality and craftsmanship.

During the commissioning and testing phase, our team will provide you with detailed information about how to monitor and manage your solar energy system, including how to access and interpret real-time performance data. We will also walk you through any maintenance requirements and warranty information to ensure that you have everything you need to keep your solar energy system running smoothly for years to come.
