Most panels carry a 25-year performance warranty. Inverters usually last 10 to 12 years. Mounting hardware often has a 10-year product warranty. Ask the installer for a yearly output check during the first 5 years to catch early faults before they grow.
A standard home system with 10 to 15 panels takes 2 to 4 days of on-site work. Most of the time goes into mounting rails, not the panels themselves. Grid connection and inspection add another 1 to 3 weeks. Weather delays can stretch the total timeline.
Quotes are based on system size in kilowatts, panel brand and efficiency, inverter type, roof complexity, and mounting hardware. Labor varies with roof height and pitch. Permit fees, optional monitoring, and battery add-ons also affect the total. Ask for a line-item breakdown.
Tile, metal, and asphalt shingle roofs each need different mounting hardware. Tile roofs often require tile replacement brackets. Metal roofs can use clamps without drilling. Flat roofs need tilted frames. Roof pitch, usually between 15 and 40 degrees, also changes mounting time and parts.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Older systems lose output after 15 to 20 years. Watch for yellowing panels, loose brackets, or inverter error codes on the display. A sudden drop in your monthly kilowatt-hour reading also suggests a fault. Get a professional test before replacing parts you may not need.
