You've decided to become a part of the renewable energy revolution by purchasing solar panels for your home. That was a fantastic decision! Not only will you be helping the environment by minimising your carbon footprint, but you'll also see a significant reduction in your monthly energy expenditures once your solar panel system is operational. When is that going to be? Three months may seem like a long time, especially when your air conditioner is humming away in the background, consuming costly electricity.

Let's look at each significant phase in the solar panel installation process and how it affects the project's completion time.

APPROACHING THE SOLAR CONTRACT

After you sign a contract with an installer, this article will primarily focus on the time it takes to install solar panels for your home. If you're just getting started with solar, you'll need to take a few extra steps first, each of which will add time to the process.

Searching for a Solar Installer

You may have been dreaming of solar panels for months or years, but finding a solar installer will be the first step in making that goal a reality. You may be itching to get solar panels installed on your roof, but don't rush it. The most crucial decision you'll make during this procedure is which solar installation business to hire. You may come to regret using an inexperienced firm or a "man with a truck" that claims to be able to install your panels at a low cost.

Getting multiple solar installation quotes is always a brilliant idea. This helps you to compare prices and gauge how comfortable you are working with various companies. Choose the most expensive quote as the last resort. Many times, paying a little more in the short term for quality and experience will save you a lot of money in the long run.

Visiting the site

You'll want to request a general site visit once you've narrowed down your solar installer options. A company representative will visit your home to check your home's energy needs and inspect your property. The installation expert will examine the following items during the site visit:

• The type of roof you have
• The angle of the roof
• The state of your roof in general
• Any issues with your roof's shading?
• Any other factors that may have an impact on your solar power system in the future

The installation specialist will provide a suggestion for the best solar panel system size for your home based on this information. They can also help you understand your finance alternatives and equipment brand possibilities. The solar firm will offer you a project price for the solar panel installation after the site visit.

Depending on their availability, a solar business can usually organise a house visit within one or two weeks of your contact.

• You should be able to make your option after comparing a few solar installation quotes.
• Your solar installer will create a scope of work that specifies the size of your system, the brands of panels and converters, and your payment choice (such as a cash payment, a loan, a lease, or a power purchase agreement).
• The installation will formally commence once you sign a contract with your installer. Set your timer!

The day has finally arrived for your solar installation. The trucks will arrive at your house on this day, carrying well-trained installers and your equipment. You might be astonished at how quickly this primary phase is completed after so much waiting. If you have a smaller home and have ordered a more minor solar power system, the installation could be done in one day. However, it could take two or three days to complete larger systems and roofs.
