The Process of Solar Installation Sunshine Coast
Once you’ve decided to take advantage of the benefits of installing solar panels for your commercial property or at home, the staff at Logic Solar can guide you through what happens next. We’ll help you choose products that suit your needs and ensure you the maximum efficiency at a competitive price. After that, it’s installation time! The following is a breakdown of what you can expect during the installation process from Logic Solar, the solar installer Sunshine Coast residents know and trust.
Where Solar Panels are Installed
Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels work best when they are placed under direct sunlight. Efficiency is maximised by ensuring they see the midday sun. It is for this reason that they are typically either positioned on rooftops or standalone facilities. Either way, the best position for your solar panels will be a space where there are as few items as possible to cast shadows upon them. Logic Solar use specialised software to design your panel layout to ensure maximum performance. This includes having them at the right angle or pitch, and facing in the best direction. Each property is different depending on the roof aspect, size of the available roof space, and many other factors.
Before Installation
Before your solar panels are installed, your professional solar panel installer and solar design team will help you decide what you need. Each home or commercial property is unique and therefore, has different requirements. In turn, these requirements will help determine the size of the system you need and the equipment required. More specifically, once the wattage requirement has been established, then you’ll know the size of the inverter, panels, racking and wiring needed to suit.
Time for Installation
Once your solar components have been ordered and are in stock, the actual installation process from Logic Solar will involve the following steps:
Check measure by our supervisor to confirm layout and location of the inverter, and roof space access for cabling
Racking installation: the support structure that fixes your solar panels to your roof will be positioned so that your solar panels face in the optimal direction
Wiring and switch gear are installed
Solar panel installation: installing the solar panels themselves, during which each panel will be fixed into place on the racking, and connected to the wiring
The Inverter, isolators and wiring are installed and connected to your meter board
Solar Safety Switch and Smart Meter are installed in the switchboard
Solar panels are connected to the inverter
The system is tested and connected to the grid
Once all the above steps have been completed, the inverter will be switched on allowing you to monitor the generation and usage of solar units
Our installers will walk you through emergency shut off procedure and set up the monitoring app with you and show you how to use it
We will instruct Energex, so that your energy provider can come out and install a solar power meter that will allow exportation of power back to the grid
Once the installation has been completed, we will register your new system with the Clean Energy Council and Clean Energy Regulator, register your warranty and update the firmware on your inverter (where possible), send you all of the documentation for your new system, and schedule a complimentary health check in six months time to see how your system is performing in relation to your first energy bill.
