Getting a solar energy system installed is not a hectic process, contrary to what some people might tell you. In fact, there are several solar energy system installation companies in Pakistan that offer complete installation within three days, which can help explain that solar energy system installation isn’t really all that it is trumped up to be. In this blog, we will look at the solar panel installation process and the overall process of solar energy system installation: from the start to the end. This is your complete guide on what to expect when you greenlight a solar energy system for your house with a solar energy company in Pakistan.
Solar Energy System installation process
The process, although very technical and including many steps along the way, is actually very simple and straightforward. Let’s take it from the start, and understand how one of the best solar companies in Islamabad and Pakistan, Beacon Energy, installs a solar energy system on a premises.
i. Site survey
The first step of the installation process is site survey, wherein engineers and the technical team will assess the viability of the premises and identify a location that would make the solar panels the most efficient throughout the day.
ii. Load calculation
The next step entails actually calculating the load which the solar energy system will have to offset. For instance, load calculation will include how much energy the premises consumes, which will get you the energy figures the solar energy system will have to produce to make it a feasible and financially viable enterprise.
iii. Contract signing
Once the load has been calculated and the solar energy company has communicated the wattage of the system that is required, you will be required to sign a contract that will assent to the purchase of the system and will also provide you with aftersales services, such as Beacon Energy’s NOC service.
iv. Installing solar mounts
So, in the first actual step of the installation of the solar energy system, the mounts or mounting points for the solar panels are installed on the roof. This process will lay the groundwork and support system for the solar panels.
v. Installing solar panels
After the mounting has been installed, the solar panels themselves will be next. These are usually angled between 18 and 36 degrees to maximise exposure to sunlight during peak hours of the day to ensure maximum efficiency from the solar energy system.
vi. Wiring the solar panels
The next step will now include wiring and connecting the solar panels together, whether in parallel or any other configuration. This also entails the connectors that are used for the job, and the quality of the MC4 connectors being used will essentially tell you the quality of the solar panels being installed, and by extension, the quality of the solar company that you will have contracted.
vii. Install the solar inverter
Depending on the placement of the solar energy system, the layout of the installation premises and practical requirements, the solar inverter will need to be installed, preferably indoors in a cool place. This includes connecting it to the entire system, input from the solar panels and an output to the solar batteries, depending on the configuration of the system.
viii. Connect the solar battery
Once the inverter has been connected, next comes the battery. Again, depending on the system configuration and the load, the setup might just include a few batteries or a bulk of heavy-duty batteries, which may complicate and lengthen the time required for installation.
ix. Connect to the power box
Every household has a power box that essentially connects it to the grid and provides it with controls for the energy system. Your solar energy system will need to be connected to the power box of the house for it to supply uninterrupted energy to the household, and depending on whether or not net-metering has been enabled on your system or not, any supply that goes from the solar energy system to the grid will also be done through the power box, so connecting it is imperative.
x. Start the system
Once all the equipment has been installed, connected and the solar energy system has been commissioned, you may start the system and check out its performance. Once the system delivers its first power backup and does not cause any issue, your solar energy system has now been installed and is ready to provide unlimited saving for your household.
