The crew arrives at 7:30, the power goes off for about an hour, and you get a walkthrough before we leave.

Install day is the shortest part of the whole project.

7:30am Two technicians arrive, check the survey notes and set up edge protection if you have two storeys.

Morning Rails and panels go on the roof. The inverter is mounted near the switchboard.

Around lunch The power is off for about an hour while we connect the switchboard.

Afternoon We test the system, record the inverter serial and show you the app. The final invoice is raised the same day.

After that Western Power swaps your meter, usually within two weeks. We switch the system on and your daily readings start to appear in your account.
