What to Expect from a Solar Installation

From site survey to handover โ€” what happens on solar installation day and afterwards.

What happens, step by step

  1. Site survey โ€” a qualified installer visits to assess your roof, switchboard, wiring and shading.
  2. Quote & design โ€” we confirm the system layout, components, costs and timeline for your approval.
  3. Equipment delivery โ€” panels, inverter, batteries and mounting gear arrive, checked before install day.
  4. Installation day โ€” most home systems take one to two days. Power is switched off for part of the install.
  5. Commissioning & testing โ€” the system is tested, configured and explained to you.
  6. Handover โ€” you get your compliance paperwork and warranty details, and the system goes live.

After the installation

  • Keep your commissioning report and certificates somewhere safe โ€” you'll need them for insurance.
  • Panels benefit from occasional cleaning in dusty areas.
  • Monitor your system's app or display, and contact support if anything behaves unexpectedly.

Warranty and support

Solar components carry manufacturer warranties โ€” check your handover documents for exact terms. If something fails, contact support with your installation details and we'll arrange a technician.

Lighting transformed our lounge

Ordered a chandelier and the team helped us pick the right size over WhatsApp before we bought. Delivered to Limpopo in three days and the quality is beautiful in person.

Solar kit quoted and installed

From the online quote to the finished installation everything went smoothly. Seeing the panels visualised on our own roof photo convinced us immediately.

Great range, helpful service

Found pendant lights I couldn't get anywhere else nearby. Delivery took a little longer than expected, but support kept me updated the whole way.

The design studio is brilliant

I uploaded a photo of my kitchen and saw exactly how the fittings would look before buying anything. Made the decision so easy โ€” highly recommend.
