It makes sense to want the installation of a commercial solar installer system for your company to be completed as soon as possible so that you may begin taking advantage of the many advantages. However, the time it takes to go solar can vary depending on the type and size of the system you’re building and the regulatory guidelines of the country in which you do business. There are five fundamental steps that the majority of commercial solar projects take, whichever you decide to go with solar energy.

1. Site Assessment
This is the initial phase for all commercial solar projects. This preliminary site evaluation forms the basis for the following design and installation plans for solar energy systems:

a. Legal reviews to ensure you have the right to build a solar energy system on the property.
b. Determining where and how your solar energy system will connect to the grid.
c. Evaluation of the property including shade analysis, structural evaluations, and topographical and geological surveys.

2. Design of the System
Plans for design and installation are formalized during this phase. You’ll get a design drawing that shows how the panels will be set up to get the most sunlight and how the building will be done. If you desire it, the design will show you carports, ground-mounted mounting, or both.

3. Building
Depending on your project’s kind and system size, the building procedure may change. Smaller rooftop systems can be completed in as little as two to three weeks, while bigger, more intricate systems can take several months. Although well-thought-out plans cause little disruption to regular operations, you should nevertheless be ready for things like temporary power outages and alternative parking locations, depending on the nature of your organization and the scale of the system.

4. Commissioning
After building is finished, commissioning is the following and last process. This is the point at which your solar company certifies that your solar installation was constructed in accordance with the plan and the utility gives you the go-ahead to operate your solar energy system in conjunction with the local power grid. You’re now producing your own renewable energy, which is wonderful!

5. System Operation and Maintenance (O&M)
Like with anything else, regular upkeep and care will extend the life of your solar energy system and guarantee maximum performance and power output. The extent of your organization’s involvement in O&M should be outlined in your contract.
