Affordable solar panel installations in Manchester

Solar panels are mostly installed on roofs, but they can also be set up on carports or ground mounts. Here’s a quick rundown of the process:

• Checking your property: We make sure your place is suitable for solar panels by evaluating your roof’s size, direction, type, and any nearby shade, such as trees.
• Setting up safely: We put up scaffolding around your roof to make sure our team can work safely.
• Mounting: We attach a strong mounting system to your roof to hold the solar panels securely.
• Installing the panels: Next, we place the solar panels on your roof and secure them to the mount.
• Wiring: We connect the solar panels to an inverter to turn the electricity they produce into something your home can use.
• Final inspections: We do a full check to make sure everything’s installed correctly and test the system to confirm it’s generating power.

To find out if your roof is good for solar panels, we will think about:

• Roof size: This affects how many panels you can fit.
• Roof direction: Ideally, panels should face south to catch the most sun.
• Roof material: Some materials are more suited for solar panels.
• Roof condition: It should be strong enough to hold the panels.
