Getting Solar Panels Installed
Don't think installing solar panels is too complicated — here's what each step actually looks like.
Before Installation
- Collecting building data — electrical capacity, monthly usage, and location coordinates for solar potential
- Building survey — roof space availability, obstructions, and structural strength
- Capacity requirements — sizing the system and calculating potential savings
- System design — optimal roof placement and installation design
- Financing options — purchase, loan, or rental, with varying down payments
- Permit understanding — compliance with PERMEN ESDM 02/2024
Installation
- Site preparation and roof cleaning
- Selection of high-quality components
- Connecting panels to inverters (DC to AC conversion)
- Thorough system testing
- Experienced project teams
- Efficient timelines
- Safety certifications (HSE/K3)
After Installation
- Testing and regular monitoring
- Final inspection and certification
- Routine maintenance and panel cleaning
- Monitoring reduced electricity bills
- Meeting sustainability and ESG goals
