The Step-by-Step Process of Solar Panel Installation

Solar energy is a rapidly growing industry, and for good reason. It's a sustainable, renewable source of power that can significantly reduce your electricity bills and carbon footprint. But how does the process of installing solar panels on your homework? In this blog post, we'll walk you through the step-by-step process of solar panel installation.

‍

Initial Consultation and Site Evaluation:

The first step in the solar installation process is an initial consultation and site evaluation. This involves a professional from Horizon Energy Solutions visiting your home to assess the suitability of your roof for solar panels, considering factors such as its size, angle, and exposure to sunlight.

‍

System Design:

Once your home has been evaluated, our team will design a solar system tailored to your specific needs. This includes determining the optimal placement of the panels to maximize sun exposure, and calculating the number of panels needed to meet your energy consumption needs.

‍

Permitting and Documentation

Before the installation can begin, we handle all the necessary permits and documentation required by Sarasota or Charlotte County and FPL. This ensures that your solar system complies with all relevant regulations and standards.

‍

Installation

Our team of certified installers will then install your solar panels. This involves mounting the panels on your roof, connecting them to an inverter (which converts the solar energy into usable electricity), and integrating the system with your home's electrical grid.

‍

Inspection and Activation

After the installation, the system will be inspected by a local county inspector and FPL to ensure it has been installed correctly and safely. Once approved, your system can be activated remotely to start generating clean, renewable energy for your home.

Installing solar panels on your home is a straightforward process that generally takes 4–6 weeks to fully install, when you work with a professional team like Horizon Energy Solutions, not only can solar energy save you money on your electricity bills, but it also contributes to a more sustainable future.
