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.
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.
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.
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.
Improper grounding, undersized DC cables, panels mounted in heavy shade, or rails not sealed correctly lead to long-term problems. Loose MC4 connectors cause arcs. Mixing different panel brands on one string lowers output. Poor roof flashing is the most common source of leaks after installation.
Panels are usually monocrystalline silicon rated 400 W to 500 W each. Inverters come as string, micro, or hybrid types. Rails are aluminium, brackets are stainless steel, and cable is UV-rated double insulated. Your installer should list every part before work begins.
Falling power output on the inverter display, yellow or brown discoloration on panel surfaces, cracked glass, loose rails after storms, or rust on mounting hardware all signal trouble. Error codes on the inverter, like isolation faults or ground faults, also need a technician visit.
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.
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.
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.
