Investing in a solar energy system is a significant step toward sustainability and cost savings. Understanding the installation process can help you feel confident, prepared, and informed as you transition to renewable energy. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect when working with a professional solar installer like Panda Power.



1. Consultation and Energy Needs Assessment

The process begins with an initial consultation, where your installer learns about your energy usage and goals. This is followed by a site inspection to evaluate your property’s suitability for solar.

What Happens:

  • A team will review your energy bills to determine the optimal system size for your needs.

  • A site assessment will check for factors like roof orientation, shading, structural integrity, and available space.

This ensures that the solar system is custom-designed to deliver maximum efficiency.

2. System Design and Proposal

After gathering the necessary data, the installer will create a tailored solar system design based on your property’s specifications and your energy goals.

What Happens:

  • You’ll receive a proposal outlining the recommended system, expected energy savings, and costs.

  • The design will factor in the best solar panels, inverters, and batteries for your needs.

At Panda Power, we utilise marketing leading 3D modelling software equipment to be able to customise an optimal solution for your home based on shading, ideal system location as well as working with you to design the system according to your visual preferences.

3. Approvals and Paperwork

Before installation begins, your installer will handle the necessary permits and approvals required by local councils and energy providers.

What Happens:

  • Applications for grid connection and government rebates (if applicable) are submitted on your behalf.

  • Your installer ensures compliance with Australian standards and regulations.

This step removes the hassle for you and ensures everything is in order before installation begins.

4. Solar Panel Installation

The actual installation process is usually quick and efficient, often completed within one to two days, depending on the system size and weather conditions.

What Happens:

  • Solar panels are mounted on your roof using a racking system, positioned for optimal sunlight exposure.

  • The inverter and battery system are installed and connected to your home’s electrical system.

  • The system is wired and integrated into your energy grid for seamless energy transfer.

Panda Power’s certified installers ensure every component is installed to the highest standards.

5. System Testing and Inspection

Once the installation is complete, the system undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it’s functioning correctly and safely.


What Happens:

  • The system is tested to confirm it’s generating power and converting it efficiently.

  • An inspection ensures all connections are secure and compliant with regulations.


This step ensures your solar system is ready to operate at full capacity.


6. Activation and Monitoring

After passing inspections, your solar system is activated, and you’ll officially begin generating your own power from the sun.


What Happens:

  • Your installer will guide you on how to monitor your system’s performance using an app or portal.

  • You’ll receive tips on maintaining your system to ensure long-term efficiency.


Panda Power also offers ongoing support and maintenance through our After-Care Program, so you’re never left in the dark.


7. Enjoy the Benefits of Solar Energy

Once activated, you’ll immediately start reaping the benefits of solar energy. Lower energy bills, reduced carbon footprint, and energy independence are just a few of the rewards you’ll enjoy.


Why It Matters:

  • Solar energy is clean, renewable, and significantly reduces your reliance on the grid.

  • With Panda Power’s custom solutions, your system is designed for your specific needs, ensuring maximum return on investment.


The journey to solar energy is a collaborative process, with your installer handling the technical details so you can focus on the benefits. At Panda Power, we pride ourselves on making the transition to solar seamless and stress-free.
