About Solar Panel Installer
What to ask before hiring an installer
Ask for the brand of panels, inverter, and mounting hardware. Request a copy of the warranty for parts and labour. Confirm the installer holds an electrical licence and public liability cover. Ask how they handle roof penetrations and who signs off the final inspection.
Safety and permits for home solar work
Working at height and connecting to the mains grid are serious tasks. A licensed electrician must sign the install. Most local councils require a building notice before panels go on the roof. After fitting, an inspector checks the wiring before the grid operator turns the system live.
When solar panels may not be worth it
Heavy shade, a north-facing roof blocked by buildings, or a rental with landlord limits can make payback long. Old roofs needing repair soon also raise the cost. Ask the installer for a shade analysis and an estimated yearly output before you sign any contract.
Types of solar panels a homeowner can choose
Most residential jobs use 60-cell or 72-cell crystalline silicon panels. Monocrystalline panels have higher efficiency, around 19 to 22 percent, while polycrystalline sit closer to 15 to 18 percent. Thin-film panels are lighter but need more roof space for the same power output.
Typical installation time for a home system
A standard 6 to 10 panel residential system takes 1 to 3 days on the roof. Wiring, inverter setup, and grid inspection add 2 to 6 weeks of waiting because the local utility must approve the connection. Total project time from contract to switch-on is often 4 to 8 weeks.
Permits and inspections required before going live
Most locations require a building permit for roof mounting and an electrical permit for wiring. After the install, a building inspector checks the mounting, and the utility sends a representative to approve grid connection. Your installer should manage both permits and schedule both inspections.
Maintenance tasks that keep a system efficient
Clean panels every 6 to 12 months to remove dust, leaves, and bird droppings. Check inverter logs monthly for error codes. Inspect mounting hardware yearly for rust or loose bolts. Trim nearby branches that grow into the panel area. A professional inspection every 2 years is also recommended.
Common problems with solar panel installations
Loose roof brackets cause leaks after heavy rain. Poor sealing around cable entries lets water reach the inverter. Shading from new trees or buildings lowers output fast. Bad wiring trips the breaker under load. Always ask the installer how they prevent each of these issues.
How installers price a solar panel job
Price depends on panel count, roof height, roof pitch, and bracket type. Tile roofs cost more than metal roofs because tiles must be removed. String inverter versus micro-inverter changes the price. Ask for a line-by-line quote so you can compare offers fairly.
How to check the quality of finished work
Walk the roof line and look for straight rails and even gaps between panels. Check that cable runs are clipped, not loose. Ask for a system test report showing open-circuit voltage and output per string. Panels should sit 100 mm to 150 mm above the roof for airflow.
