Going Solar: From Consultation to Switch-On
Understand the stages of a solar installation, from your first conversation to inspection, activation and ongoing care.
In this guide
Begin with the information that shapes the design
The consultation brings together your electricity use, available space and objectives. Use it to explain what you need from solar and ask how the proposed system will fit the property.
Follow the project through its key stages
Consultation
Discuss your energy needs, bills and roof with the team.
Proposal
Review the suggested arrangement and raise questions about its scope.
Site assessment
Confirm the roof measurements and site conditions that affect the design.
Design and approvals
Review the installation design and the required grid-connection approvals.
Installation
Coordinate the agreed installation work at the property.
Inspection and activation
Complete the applicable inspection and approval steps before switch-on.
Ongoing care
Agree what monitoring and maintenance will be provided after activation.
Keep the handover clear

Keep the equipment information, installation scope and maintenance arrangements together. They give you a useful reference when asking questions after the system is operating.
