What happens during a solar installation?
THE SHORT ANSWER

From first assessment to commissioning, understand the stages behind a properly designed solar PV project.

Reviewed: September 2026Great BritainIndicative guidance, not a site design

1. Initial assessment

The installer needs property, roof and electricity-use information to establish whether the project is worth surveying.

2. Survey & design

A site assessment validates dimensions, condition, shading, electrical arrangements, equipment locations and cable routes.

3. Proposal

You should receive a system specification and commercial proposal based on the survey and design assumptions.

4. Installation & handover

Panels, mounting system, inverter and any battery are installed and commissioned. Relevant certification, warranties and operating information should follow.

NEXT STEP

Turn research into a property-specific conversation.

Online information can narrow the options. A useful quotation needs the real property, energy use and project requirements.
