Solar panel installers near me

Rooftop solar panels are becoming increasingly popular as the cost of electricity rises, and many consumers are looking for alternative ways to cut costs. It also makes more efficient use of renewable resources and reduces environmental impact. For this reason, a rooftop solar power plant is not only a modern option, but also a very useful one. With the development of this field in our country, the demand for services such as the solar panel installers and connection to the grid of solar power plants has increased considerably. Although the whole process may not seem very complicated at first glance, there are a number of details that can have an important impact on the final result. Quality installation of batteries and panels on the roof is necessary for both electricity generation and other processes that require energy, such as hot water or space heating. Different equipment is installed to meet both needs. The main function of a solar power plant is to generate electricity, which is why it is necessary to provide special modules - batteries - for its installation. For those who plan to use solar energy to heat water for further use in the heating system or in the water supply, solar collectors are necessary.We have highlighted some of the main advantages of solar power plants:

•  Cost-effectiveness. Collectors can significantly reduce electricity and heating costs, which is particularly important in the cold season.
• Environmentally friendly. Solar panels are friendly to the environment and our health.
• Longevity. All the equipment is made of high quality materials using the latest technology. All metal and glass elements are resistant to temperature changes and other external factors.
• Autonomy. The solar collector system can operate partially or fully independently of a centralised electricity or heat supply.

Installation features of solar power plants

The solar panel installers is carried out in several stages:

• Design;
• Preparation of the solar power plant kit with all necessary elements;
• Installation of the solar panels;
• Connection of the power plant to the house's electrical system.

 At the beginning of the project, the roof of the house, its area, angle of slope and other structural features need to be assessed. For this reason, it is very important to make all the calculations accurately, as they will help to achieve maximum efficiency of the system and avoid installation errors.The installation of rooftop solar modules takes into account several important factors, without which the proper functioning of the system cannot be guaranteed:

• Accurate calculation of solar energy efficiency. This is essential to determine how much energy your household needs and what the dimensions and design of the solar modules should be to achieve maximum efficiency.
• Determination of azimuth and tilt angle. This is a very important process for making efficient use of sunlight in the area where the solar PV system is being installed. This is a very important factor in achieving maximum efficiency, as a difference of even a few degrees can have a very significant impact on the amount of energy generated.
• Choosing the right location. It is important where the mounting of the solar panels will take place. This factor is not only important for the efficiency of the system, but also for the technical performance, as it is important to distribute the loads properly on the roof structure. The aesthetic appearance is also important.
• Correct connection and positioning of all elements to prevent loss of efficiency.

On what surfaces can solar panel be installed?

One of the main factors behind the popularity of solar power plants is the fact that they can be installed on virtually any structure, from pitched to flat roofs. Building walls and specially prepared sites on the ground are also suitable. However, the roof remains the main location for the installation of this type of system, as it usually has a large surface area and the collectors do not require additional space in the yard. There is also little difference in the type of roof covering. When planning the installation of solar power plants, where the structure will be mounted over an existing roof covering, the choice of covering alternatives is as follows: tin, bitumen or tile. A fundamental difference in installation occurs when the solar modules are recessed into the roofing itself.On pitched roofs, solar panels are usually installed parallel to the slope. They can be placed above the roof, on special brackets, or the modules can be installed in the roof itself, making them a seamless part of the roof. A south-facing slope is ideal. For maximum efficiency, it is essential that there are no obstacles between the sun's rays and the collectors that could cast shadows, such as tall trees or other buildings.Mounting solar modules on flat roofs is done using special brackets that help to create the right tilt angle. When installing several rows of panels, it is important to calculate the spacing correctly so that, even on days when the sun is closest to the horizon line at midday, the shadow of one panel does not block the shadow of the others behind. This will result in a more efficient use of the usable area, which can make solar power plants on the roof of a block of flats a real cost-saving solution rather than a fiction.

How long does it take to install a solar power plant?

Although the design of a solar power plant can take time, the installation of the structures is relatively quick. The installation process itself depends on several factors such as:

• The capacity of the power plant to be installed, which determines how many and which modules need to be installed and which design is most suitable.
• Roof type. Flat structures are more convenient to work on, so installation is simpler and faster. A steeper slope may make it more difficult to complete the work quickly.
• Weather conditions. Good weather conditions are essential for the installation of solar power plants. Rain or snow can make it dangerous to work and can delay the installation process.

For a standard residential house, a 5-10 kW power plant can normally take up to 2 days to install, depends on weather and solar panel installers.

What does the cost of installing solar power plants depend on?

When planning to install solar panels on the roof of your house to modernise your electricity and heating system, the cost of the project is quite important. It is important for every homeowner to know how long it will take to recoup their investment and what the pricing of a solar power plant installation depends on. We will therefore identify the main elements that influence the final price:

• The power of the power plant being installed, as it determines the size of the structures, the number of modules and the number of components to be assembled.
• The type and area of the roof, as this determines the type of structure needed for the installation of the solar panels. Installation will be cheaper for owners of tin roofs and more expensive for those whose houses are covered with tiles.
• Brand of equipment chosen. There are many different solutions on the market, some of which are cheaper and others more expensive, depending on who manufactures them and what equipment is offered.
• Rates for installers. Although most customers think that they can do all the installation work themselves, it is recommended that only reliable installers are hired, as this will not only ensure safety but also the quality of the work done.
• Additional works, such as painting or certification of the structures, which may affect the final price.

Experienced professionals will assess all the specifics of the work with a high degree of precision, determine the likely costs and provide an estimate for the installation of the solar power plant.

Rooftop solar panels - can I install them myself?

Like most home construction or modernisation work, installing solar panels can be done by hand. This is an attempt to save money, but we do not recommend installing solar panels yourself if you do not have any installation experience and do not know the specifics of certain structures. If you do decide to give it a try, it is important not only to familiarise yourself with the installation instructions and to observe all the safety requirements, but also to find helpers who can assist you. We believe that installing solar panels yourself is not the best solution because:

• Time wasted. The installation process is not a quick one, especially when you are doing all the work for the first time, and when you consider that you may also have to find helpers and fit them in around your free time, the whole process can take a very long time.
• Errors. The experience of specialists helps to avoid costly potential mistakes. It will be much harder to avoid mistakes when doing the installation yourself, and there is always the risk of having to redo or worse, replace damaged structures with new ones.
• Choice of materials. The choice of materials has a major impact on the performance of the installation, for example even details such as the fixings for the solar panels. In this case, trying to save money or adapting similar materials can lead to a shorter lifetime of the system, or even worse, to permanent failures.

Hiring qualified professionals not only ensures the quality of the service, but also the guarantee of the work done. So, if you notice any defects or faults, you can call on the services of a master craftsman who can quickly fix them. They can also calculate more precisely how and where to install the power plants and ensure that they work more efficiently.

Solar panel installers, warranty and duration

If you want your solar power plant to be covered by a warranty, both for the equipment itself and for the work carried out, it is important to have a single supplier. Our company has a wealth of experience in this field, so we can guarantee not only the excellent quality of the materials, but also a flawless installation. In addition, the laws in our country are quite favourable, protecting consumers and preventing unfair work. The Civil Code of the Republic of Lithuania stipulates that the contractor is responsible for the removal of defects within:

• 5 years;
• 10 years if the defects were in concealed elements;
• 20 years if the defects were intentionally concealed.

What else is important to know about solar panels installers?

Although the installation of solar panels is becoming quite commonplace, it is still a rather complex process that requires proper preparation. Before ordering services, it is advisable to familiarise yourself with the current situation in the country, the available public support, the equipment on offer and the specifics of the work to be carried out. Currently, anyone wishing to set up a solar panel instalations  can apply for state support. The amount depends on the planned power output, up to £323 per kilowatt-hour. So if you are planning a 5kW power plant, the support can be up to £5 x 323 = £1,615.State support certainly eases the financial burden of buying the equipment and setting up the power plant. However, when assessing the total cost of the project, we recommend that buyers consider the total lifetime of the equipment, which can often be up to 30 years. So if you spread the total cost over several decades, the cost is not that high.The equipment and the installation process itself are very important for the installation. Therefore, for those interested in solar modules, reviews and opinions from other buyers can make life much easier and speed up the decision-making process. And the experience of professional craftsmen and their ability to carry out even the most sophisticated projects means safety and guarantees for owners who will avoid potential failures.If you decide to install a solar power system please don't hesitate contact our solar panel installers  for quality services.
