Solar panel installation work
The process of solar panel installation involves several steps. The exact work differs depending on whether you are installing indoors or outdoors. Here are some of the differences between indoor and outdoor installations:
Indoor work
- Installation of solar inverters, often in the attic or technical room;
- Only when using a central string inverter (serial);
- With a central string inverter: cabling from the panels to the inverter and from the inverter to the meter box;
- Optional: adjustments in the meter box, and
- Installation of the monitoring infrastructure.
Outdoor work
- Communication with customer about laying and installation plan for solar panels;
- Optional: erection of scaffolding for installers;
- Mounting material for installing the solar panels is fixed on the roof;
- Installation of the solar panels on the roof;
- Laying infrastructure solar panels and inverter, and
- Optional: cable route from inverter to meter box.
As you would expect, the installation takes extensive preparation. The installer will communicate the exact process to the customer.

Preparing for installation day
Before the solar panels are installed on your roof, you have often already completed a number of steps. You have requested one or more quotations and have spoken at length with an adviser. You should have been kept informed of developments towards the day of installation through mailings or via the personal application environment. So, as a customer, you are actively involved in the process from orientation to the installation of solar panels and know what to expect.
Delivery of the system
Once all components of the system are connected together, the installation can be handed over. At Soly, we believe in restoring the environment to the same, or better, condition than we found it. That means disposing of any dust or packaging materials from the inverter and solar panels. After completing the installation, the installer will discuss the handover with you.
Note that you still have to register the solar panels yourself. Once you are registered, you can start using the net-metering scheme and feed-in compensation.
How long does solar panel installation take after signing the quote?
At Soly, we will install your solar panels within four weeks of your no-obligation quote request. That means you will be enjoying all the benefits of solar energy in no time.
Consistency and quality in installation
We value consistency and guarantee high quality in our work. For this reason, our installation teams are extensively prepared for the day of installation. We share the laying plan that you, the customer, have made with our advisers, so that the installer can prepare for the work ahead of time. We also maintain meticulous standards in terms of service and communication. This gives you complete confidence and makes the installation of solar panels a clearer and simple process for you and the installation team.
