Solar Panel Installation Process

Over the past decade installing solar panels has become increasingly popular for homeowners across the UK. With prices of solar panels falling by over 50%, coupled with rising energy bills, solar panels have become more financially viable than ever. At SolarTherm UK, our expert team ensure the utmost satisfaction for all of our clients throughout the lifetime of their products.

There are several steps involved in the solar panel installation process, most of which are managed by reputable solar panel installers, such as SolarTherm UK.

We make it as easy as possible for our customers to contact us via whatever communication type works best for them. We are contactable via email, phone, live chat, Facebook/Instagram Messager or via our web forms.

Our expert team of installers and staff will help organise the installation of your panels and system at a convenient date. As the installation can take between 1-2 days, we will need access to the roof and areas of the property during the installation. Our team will be on hand throughout the installation process, ensuring that any questions you may have been answered and you are fully informed throughout the process.

Our sister company, Silvercrest Scaffolding, will set up the appropriate scaffolding a couple of days before the installation, ensuring our team can access the roof and other areas safely throughout the installation. All scaffolding will be put up safely by our expert team of scaffolders, with all operatives being CITB/CSCS approved.

Once the scaffolding has been erected, our team of installers will be able to start the process of fitting the mounts upon which the panels will be fitted. Depending on the location the panels will be fitted, these mounts can be fixed to a roof, mounted into the ground or even on the side of a building.

When the mounts have been attached to the roof, the solar panels can then be attached and wired into the circuit. An inverter then needs to be installed and a home energy battery installed/connected to the circuit.

The system will then be connected back to the grid, which will allow for energy export back for tariffs such as the smart export guarantee (SEG).

Our team will then talk you through the various installed technologies ensuring you’re well informed of the various components and monitoring systems.

Finally, sit back and enjoy years of green electricity production through your solar panel system. With solar panels lasting anywhere up to and more than 50 years, your panels will deliver years of savings off your energy bills.

Solar panels installation time varies depending on the size and complexity of the project. Usually, our team of expert installers will advise the length of time the installation process will take prior to the installation day. Most installations are completed within a day, but some larger and more complex installation projects can take between 2-7 days.
