Solar Installation Process

AEMO (Australian Energy Market Operator) recently conducted an audit of inverters installed in the past year.
And the results were concerning!
Under new regulations introduced in December 2021, only 28% of systems with visible settings could be confirmed to have the correct settings.
Why are we telling you all this?
Well, to make you understand that going solar can be a fantastic choice, but it can turn into a bit of a mess if it's not done properly.
That's why it's important to know things in advance.
Let's walk you through the steps leading to a perfect solar installation and help you understand the solar panel installation process and cost.

Things to Do Pre-Installation

Assess the Cost of Installation

Australia has one of the world’s lowest costs per kWh, thanks to government incentives and a strong push for clean energy.

However, before you jump into solar panel installation, it’s essential to understand what affects the cost of installation.

Type and number of panels
Type and size of the inverter
Types of framing equipment and other system components
Contractor installation costs
Your roof's height and accessibility, and whether it's tiled, metal, or concrete

Understanding the Core Components of Solar Installation

When it comes to solar panel install, it’s essential to be familiar with the main parts and equipment required for a successful installation.

Solar Panels :

These are the primary energy generators in your system. You’ll need to choose the brand and type of panels that best match your needs and preferences from a wide range of options.

Inverters:

Inverters serve as the essential translators of your system. Their role is to convert the DC power produced by your solar panels into the AC power used in your home or business.

Racking Equipment:

Think of this as the structural backbone of your panels. Racking systems are responsible for securely mounting your solar panels on roofs or the ground, ensuring they are optimally positioned to harness sunlight.

Performance Monitoring Equipment:

These tools keep a close watch on your solar panel system’s output. They are responsible for ensuring that your system operates at peak efficiency, maximizing your solar energy utilization.

Tip: If you have intentions to incorporate a solar battery in the future, it's imperative to communicate this to your solar retailer.

This enables them to design your system with future battery storage in mind.

It may influence their installation and wiring choices, ensuring smooth integration when you decide to make the upgrade.
