1. Initial Consultation
The process begins with an initial consultation with one of our expert solar PV surveyors. We will assess your property’s suitability for solar PV installation by considering factors such as roof orientation, shading, available space, roof structure, mains electrical supply, and your energy needs. We will also discuss your goals and answer any questions you may have.
2. System Design & Proposal
Based on the information gathered during your consultation, our experienced design team will design a system tailored to your specific requirements. This includes determining the appropriate number and type of solar panels, inverter capacity, and other necessary components. They will provide you with a detailed proposal that outlines the system specifications, costs, and potential energy savings.
3. Financing
If you require financing for your solar PV installation, we are proud partners with Ideal 4 Finance, a very reputable finance broker. This gives you the option to spread the cost of the system over monthly affordable repayments. Our friendly team can guide you through the process and assist with the necessary documentation.
4. Planning Permission
In most cases, solar PV installations in the UK are considered permitted development and do not require planning permission. However, there may be exceptions, such as if your property is a listed building or located in a conservation area. If planning permission is needed, Ipsum Renewables can help you with the application process.
5. Installation & Wiring
Once all necessary approvals are obtained, the installation date will be scheduled. We will send our directly employed, fully qualified & experienced installers to your property, along with all the information including photos gathered from the initial consultation. They will mount the solar panels on your roof or other suitable structures, ensuring they are securely fixed. The panels will be wired together, and the electrical connections will be made to the inverter and your property’s electrical system.
6. Commissioning & Testing
After the installation, the system will undergo commissioning and testing to ensure proper functionality and safety. This includes verifying the electrical connections, testing the performance of the panels, and ensuring that the inverter is functioning correctly. Our friendly install team will also set up any online monitoring apps if required and run through the whole system with you.
7. System Handover & Documentation
Once the installation is complete, we will provide you with all relevant documentation, including warranties, system manuals, and certification. They will also explain how to monitor your system’s performance and address any maintenance requirements.
