One of the most frequently asked questions we come across is:
Can I Install solar panels myself?
The short answer is NO!
Installing a Solar PV System is not a DIY project. Just like any electrical installation, it requires a qualified electrician with years of training and experience to carry out a solar panel installation safely. While some of the manual labor can be carried out by a roofer or laborer with experience, this still requires proper safety measures to be put in place to ensure no damage or injury occurs. Those working on the job need health and safety training and must be able to work at heights.
It is important to note that all of the electrical components of a solar panel installation need to be handled by a qualified person. Only a certified electrician will have the necessary knowledge to install and connect the panels to the grid in a way that is safe and complies with building and electrical codes. Attempting to do it yourself can be dangerous and potentially lead to injury or damage to your property.
