Solar panel installations in St Helens

Solar panels tend to be installed on your property’s roof, but they can also go in other places like carports or ground mounts. Here’s how it usually works:

• We’ll examine your roof’s size and orientation, the type of roof, and potential shading from trees or other structures to ensure that solar panels are appropriate for your property.
• Once everything’s cleared, we’ll install a strong mounting system on your roof to securely hold the solar panels. The panels are then carefully attached to the mount.
• We’ll connect the panels to an inverter, converting the DC solar energy into AC electric power that can be used in your home.
• After installation, we carry out a detailed inspection and test the system to make sure it’s functioning correctly and efficiently generating electricity.

The time it takes to complete a solar PV installation varies based on your system’s size and complexity, but most installations are done in just one or two days. As soon as we have all the details on your installation, we’ll be able to give you a more accurate timescale.

To find out if your roof is suitable for solar panels, there are a few things to consider:

• Roof size: To know how many panels you can install.
• Roof orientation: Panels should ideally face south to capture the most sun.
• Roof type and condition: It needs to be in good shape to support the panels.
