OUR INSTALLATION PROCESS

A clear plan from start to finish.

Understand what happens before, during and after your solar installation, with no mystery about the process.

01

Initial conversation

We discuss your goals, approximate electricity consumption and the property so we understand what you need.

02

Property survey

We assess roof dimensions, shading, electrical arrangements, access and installation considerations.

03

OpenSolar proposal

We design a suitable system and explain the equipment, estimated generation and quoted scope.

04

Approvals and planning

We identify applicable network notifications or permissions, installation scheduling and access requirements.

05

Installation

Our team installs the mounting system, solar panels and specified electrical equipment.

06

Testing and commissioning

We check the system, commission the equipment and confirm the agreed setup.

Handover

We explain monitoring, operating information and relevant documentation.

08

Ongoing support

A PROPOSAL YOU CAN UNDERSTAND

Good advice before you commit.

We want you to understand why the system has been recommended, how the equipment works and what the projections actually mean. Your roof, usage and budget should guide the design.

Questions about installation

Do I need scaffolding?

Some installations need scaffolding or another safe access arrangement. This depends on the property and will be assessed as part of the quotation.

What happens with the electricity network?

Requirements depend on inverter capacity, export settings and local network rules. Your team will explain the applicable process.

Can I monitor the system on my phone?

Many modern inverters provide an app or online portal for monitoring. Availability depends on the equipment and connectivity.

Do I need to be home for the installation?

We will explain the expected access requirements and when an adult needs to be available.
