How we implement a complete system, step by step
Installing a photovoltaic system at your home or business is now one of the most important energy investments of our time. At Solar Home, we manage the process from the initial assessment to final activation, with the aim of providing you with a system that is efficient, safe, and fully tailored to your needs. Below, we present the stages we follow in detail, so your installation experience is as clear and well-organized as possible.
1. Preliminary analysis and energy assessment
Our first step is to assess your property’s electricity needs in detail. We analyze consumption over recent months, usage patterns, daily and seasonal variations, and any future needs (electric car, heat pump, etc.).
Based on the data, we recommend the appropriate system capacity and configuration, as well as the type of connection (net billing or self-generation). This stage is crucial because it ensures that the system installed will truly deliver what it promises.
2. Installation design & equipment selection
Once the required system size has been determined, we proceed with the installation design. We assess:
- The site (rooftop, roof, tiled roof, industrial building).
- The orientation and tilt.
- Any shading from nearby buildings or obstacles.
- The structural integrity of the installation location.
Next, we select the appropriate equipment: high-efficiency photovoltaic panels, a state-of-the-art inverter, mounting structures certified for Greek weather conditions, and reliable protection and grounding systems.
Solar Home works exclusively with manufacturers offering long-term warranties, so you can be confident that your investment has a long service life and low maintenance costs.
3. Equipment procurement and delivery
Once the design is complete, we proceed with procuring the necessary equipment. All materials are delivered to the project site on a scheduled date, so the installation can be carried out in an organized manner and without delays.
We inspect the equipment before installation, ensuring that it meets all specifications and has not been damaged during transport or storage.
4. Mounting structure installation and photovoltaic panel installation
Installation begins with securing the mounting structures. They are installed to ensure complete stability, the correct tilt, and resistance to extreme weather conditions — especially in areas with strong winds or significant temperature fluctuations.
The photovoltaic panels are then mounted on the structures, with precision and strict adherence to the manufacturer’s technical instructions. Correct alignment and secure fastening are essential to the system’s long-term performance.
5. Electrical connections and circuit completion
At the next stage, we complete all electrical connections:
- Connecting the photovoltaic panels to one another (in series or in parallel).
- Connecting to the inverter.
- Completing the AC and DC wiring.
- Installing the protection panel and safety switches.
- Grounding and lightning protection.
We strictly follow safety regulations and international standards to ensure the system operates with maximum efficiency and safety.
6. System settings, testing & and activation
After installation, we carry out detailed checks:
- Checking voltage and current.
- Checking that the inverter is operating correctly.
- Measuring grounding resistance.
- Checking connections and protective devices.
We then configure the system, set up the inverter, and proceed with activation. From this moment on, your property begins producing clean solar energy.
7. Monitoring, maintenance, and support
Solar Home provides ongoing support after installation. You can monitor production through an app, view statistics, and receive notifications about system performance.
We also optionally provide maintenance programs, which include panel cleaning, connection inspections, and performance checks — so your system operates at 100% for many years.
What you gain with proper installation
- Significant reduction or even elimination of electricity bills.
- Independence from electricity price increases.
- Increased property value.
- Green energy with minimal maintenance costs.
- Stable performance for 20+ years.
