Choosing and Installing Solar PV Panels | The process explained

Working your way through the process of installing solar panels can be overwhelming, but at ProStar Energy, our teams make the process simple.

We will talk you through every step of the way, so you know what to expect and when. We pride ourselves on delivering quality solar energy solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of commercial enterprises. Our comprehensive installation process ensures that every step, from initial consultation to system activation, is handled with precision and care.

Getting The Process Started

Before we can start designing your system and calculating the potential financial return on your investment, there are a few bits of information we need.

  • Roof type - we will need to know what your roof is like so that we can determine which mounting system will be best. Questions we will need answering include: What material is it? Is it slanted?
  • Are you looking for a single-phase or three-phase system?
  • What is your annual electricity consumption (in kWh per year)?
  • What rate are you currently paying per kWh?

We will run through these in the discussions we have leading up to the design phase, guiding you through where to find the information at each step.

Learn more about the information we need to provide a financial returns estimate and to begin the design process. Call us on 0331 6302225.

The Installation Process

Our team makes the design and installation process as stress-free as possible, minimising disruption to your business.

The process is broken into several key stages:

  1. Initial design, estimate and financial returns estimate.
  2. A free site survey and feasibility study where we will meet you and learn about your business energy needs to finalise the quote and design.
  3. Payment of deposit, leading to the G99 application paperwork (these can usually take about 12 weeks to complete), technical assessment where we specify details of the installation (mounting, placement, etc.).
  4. Depending on size, installation is normally carried out in a week with no disruption to the client (except perhaps scaffolding).
  5. Handover, warranties, certificates and sign-off.

We will keep you informed at every stage so you will know what we are working on and what our next steps will be throughout the process.

Post Installation Process

The completion of your solar panel installation is an exciting time, but many people wonder what happens after our installation process. We have a set process we follow that ensures we provide a comprehensive and quality handover with you.  

A complete handover is crucial as these documents will enable you to register for an export tariff with your energy provider, should you wish. We strive to complete the process within two weeks of the solar installation completion. However, we always endeavour to expedite the process to ensure utmost customer satisfaction. 

Our handover process after installing Solar Panels

1.

One of our experts will contact you to discuss the next steps, including the monitoring app, our solar PV handover pack, and payment clearance

2.

We take responsibility for registering your solar installation with the relevant organisation schemes for your property. These include HIES, MCS, NAPIT, and the Distribution Network Operator (DNO).  

3.

We will send you the completion of works form for your signature before providing the solar PV handover pack. Your signature serves as job sign-off, allowing us to release the final documents promptly. 

4.

We will also guide you on where to find the DNO notification email, which is an essential step in applying for the export tariff.

What is a Solar PV Handover pack?

This handover pack is the comprehensive collection of documents you will receive after installing your solar panels. It includes the MCS certificate, NAPIT Building Regulations certificate, a paid-in-full invoice, a schematic diagram of your system, and details regarding your DNO connection.  

What warranties can you expect to receive?

Rest assured, we provide you with warranties for extra peace of mind.  We provide a workmanship warranty which covers a period of 5 years.  

To ensure the activation of these warranties, every component is pre-registered upon system commissioning, meaning you don’t need to do anything.

Solar PV Panel Warranties

At ProStar Energy, as well as offering a comprehensive installation and maintenance service, we also provide a set of warranties that give you peace of mind.

We set up and activate three types of warranties to cover your new solar PV panel system:

  • Workmanship Warranty
  • Product Warranty
  • Performance Warranty

When we complete your handover, we will also pass over each certificate and documentation you need, along with a verbal explanation of each warranty, how long it lasts and what it covers.
