Installation Process & Maintenance

Domestic installation can take as little as a single day to complete. There are 3 main components to installation:

1. Scaffolding erected

2. Solar Panel Mounting frame is fixed to the roof rafter, sliding underneath the existing tiles, meaning there is no need for any roof work

3. The Inverter is installed in your loft and connected to the Solar Panels. The Generation Meter is then installed next to your fuse board and connected.

1.The roof is checked to be in good repair…

Maintenance is relatively simple, with the panels possibly needing cleaning once a year. Cernunnos Homes offer this service. We can also monitor the performance of the panels, ensuring you get the maximum from your system.

Let us not forget, you can always have a Ground Mounted System. Some people do not want panels on their roof – maybe they could have them at the bottom of their garden!
