Investing in solar panels is a smart way to cut energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint. At Green Sky Renewables, we take a design-led approach that ensures your system works perfectly for your home, your energy use, and your long-term plans.
Here’s what our installation process looks like — clear, professional, and customer-focused every step of the way.
1. Proposal & Estimate: Your First Step
Before anything happens on-site, we send you a proposal and estimate tailored to your home. This initial plan is based on the information you provide and gives a clear view of what to expect.
Your proposal includes:
- Suggested panel layout for your roof
- Recommended equipment including inverters and batteries
- Predicted electricity generation
- Estimated return on investment (ROI)
- Potential energy savings
If you like what you see, we move on to a detailed site survey.
2. Site Survey & System Design
A trained surveyor visits your home to assess:
- Roof structure, condition, orientation and pitch
- Shading from trees, chimneys, or neighbouring buildings
- Cable routing and inverter placement
- Battery, hot water diverter, or EV charger requirements
- Overall aesthetics and kerb appeal
They’ll explain the entire installation process, answer questions, and ensure your system is designed to meet your energy needs and your expectations.
3. Clear, Itemised Quotation
After the survey, you’ll receive a transparent quote with:
- Itemised costs for all components and labour
- Everything needed to complete the installation to the correct standards
- No hidden fees or unexpected extras
We include scaffolding, specialist fixings, electrical equipment, and monitoring hardware. Our team meets all MCS and electrical safety standards from the start, and we are sure to complete the correct paper work such as DNO applications.
4. Installation: Safe, Efficient, and Tidy
Most domestic solar installs take 1–2 days. Your dedicated project manager oversees the process to ensure:
- Safe working practices
- Protection of your property and tidy work areas
- Neat and professional workmanship
- Accurate installation of brackets, rails, panels, inverters, and batteries
We treat your home as if it were our own and keep you informed at every step.
5. Commissioning, Handover & Export Tariff Setup
Once installation is complete, we carry out a full inspection. Your project manager will:
- Check the installation is completed correctly
- Demonstrate start-up and shut-down procedures with you
- Show you how to monitor and check your system
- Review warranties and documentation
- Help you set up an export tariff via the Smart Export Guarantee to sell surplus electricity
You’ll also get access to a monitoring app, giving you real-time insights into your solar generation, and receive a comprehensive handover pack, containing information on your installation, from your MCS certificate, to your warranties.
6. Monitoring Programme
After installation, we actively monitor your system remotely for several weeks:
- Ensuring generation meets expectations
- Checking inverter performance
- Optimising battery charging/discharging
- Verifying export levels
Any issues are addressed promptly, either remotely or by scheduling an engineer visit.
7. Ongoing Monitoring & Support
Beyond the initial active monitoring, we continue to monitor your system at intervals. If an alert is triggered:
- We contact you immediately
- Resolve minor issues remotely
- Arrange on-site support if needed
Our goal is to ensure your system continues performing efficiently for years to come.
