Solar PV system installation in the UK

How do accredited solar panel installers install solar panels in the UK?

Here’s a step-by-step guide to the solar PV installation process used by accredited solar panel installers in the UK. Every solar panel installation begins with a detailed site assessment. An accredited installer will inspect your roof’s size, condition, pitch, and orientation to make sure it’s suitable for a solar panel fitting.

Where should solar panels be installed in the UK?

Good design and installation are critical to making the most of your solar PV system. In the UK, panels should be oriented as close to south-facing as possible for best performance – but anything from south-west to south-east should deliver good yield.

How are solar panels installed?

Then, the solar panels are installed on the roof, clipped into place on the mounts, and wired together either in series or parallel, depending on the system design. Most solar panel installations in the UK are completed in 2–3 days for residential properties.
