So, you’ve decided to start looking into the process of getting solar panels for your home. With the cost-savings and reduction of greenhouse gases, it’s something that we love to celebrate!
But before you pick up the phone, you may be wondering how long a solar panel installation will actually take. The good news is; solar energy systems don’t take a long time to install. Solar power systems can be installed in a day or two. But there are a few steps that need to be made before the installation like a solar assessment, contacting the relevant organizations, sorting paperwork as well as some other factors such as weather, approvals, or size of crew that will influence how long the whole process takes.
The 5 Factors That Extend the Time of Your Solar Panel Installation
- On-Site Visit and Solar Assessment
- Size and Experience of Crew
- Solar System Complexity
- Weather
- Seasonal Demand
Before we can give you a complete quote, the first step is to book a solar assessment. One of our solar assessors will visit you at your home to inspect your roof and discuss your energy demands and needs. They will chat with you to understand your lifestyle habits, how many people are in your family and the placement of your property in the area. This will help us devise the right solar energy solution for your home.
A strong, good-sized and competent crew of solar panel installers is necessary for all solar system installations. This ensures fast and efficient work from the team, no matter how big the system is or how complex the job may be. As a CEC Approved Retailer, Solar System Pty Ltd only uses installers that are CEC accredited. This ensures that all installers employed by us are electricians and specialise in the design and installation of all solar systems.
It probably goes without saying, but additional solar panels or components will take more time to install. As a rule of thumb, residential solar systems take less time, with installations spanning up to just a few days. If you are a business owner looking for a sizable solar installation, this procedure can take between two to three weeks.
During wet weather, it can take longer for solar installers to complete the installation. While unfortunately, things like weather can be hard to account for, trying to schedule the work around a time of the year where the weather is a bit more consistent or not too wild could be a good way to off put the concerns of any delays.
Summer has always been the most popular season for solar. Due to this high demand, there may be a longer waiting period for you to get your system installed. However, at Solar System Pty Ltd, we suggest you book a solar assessment during the colder months as it is the best time to get your home ready for the summer time. Solar System Pty Ltd technicians can set up your residential solar system in no time at all, regardless of which time of year it is.
