Solar panels are a way to access a sustainable resource and help minimize your environmental footprint. However, installing solar panels is no easy job, and often requires the assistance of an electrician. From ARMZ Electric in Winnipeg, here’s how an electrician can help you install solar panels.
The planning process — where do you put them?
Planning is the most important stage in any home project. Depending on the number of solar panels being installed and the position of the home, there may be better places than others to install them. An electrician will work with you to design a plan that ensures the panels are working efficiently and will benefit your home in the best way.
Stability
With the design process, there’s also the matter of how stable the surface of your roof is. Houses come in many different shapes and sizes. Some roofs may not be built to handle the weight of solar panels or may be designed in a way that will have trouble supporting them. Electricians will be able to examine your current roof and see whether or not any repairs need to be made before the installing of the panels, and which spots are just right. That way, you don’t have to worry about the weight of the panels damaging your roof.
Connecting the panels to your home and the grid
Of course, electricians are experts at working the electrical system of your home. Not only will they be able to install the panels for you, but they’ll properly hook them up to your home’s electrical system and the main power grid. The electrician will also be able to test out the panels, ensure they’re working for future usage, and fix any problems that may arise.
Handling the budget
Solar panels can be expensive, despite the many benefits they come with. Electricians will have the knowledge to know what brands out there will fit your budget. They can also advise on any local rebates or initiative programs that can help you save on your solar system installation. Electricians work with you. They will also educate you on everything you need to know before installing solar panels on your home.
