The process of buying and installing a solar roof - step by step guide
Stage 1: First contact and initial analysis
It all starts with your first contact with us. You can call, write an email or fill out a mood form. At this stage, we need some basic information:
- Location of the building
- Approximate roof area
- Whether it's a new building or replacing an existing roof
- Your projected electricity consumption
This information will allow us to initially assess the possibilities of installation and prepare for the next step.
Stage 2:Consultation with an expert
After initial contact, we will invite you to meet with our expert. This is a crucial moment that will determine the success of the entire project. Our specialist is not just an engineer - he is an advisor who will help you make the best decision for your home.
During the meeting, we will analyze several important aspects together:
First, we'll look at your building. If you are just planning a construction, then a project is enough for us - our experts have extensive experience in reading technical documentation and will advise even minor modifications that can significantly improve the efficiency of the system. In the case of an existing home, we will visit you to assess the conditions on site.
We will also talk about your erection plans and needs. Maybe you are planning a heat pump or an electric car in the future? Or do you work from home and care about energy independence? This information will help us choose the right installation size.
We will also analyze the layout of the roof and its surroundings. We will check the insolation, possible shading from trees or neighboring buildings. Sometimes even a small modification in the design, such as moving the chimney or roof window, can significantly increase the efficiency of the system.
What is important - this consultation is completely free and non-binding. This is your chance to ask all your questions to an experienced professional. Our expert will not only answer technical questions, but also show you examples of similar implementations and share the experience of other customers.
At the end of the meeting, you will receive initial recommendations and you will know what the possibilities are for your home. Only on this basis will you decide on the next steps.
Stage 3: Design and quotation
Based on the collected information, we will prepare for you:
- Technical design of the installation
- 3D visualization of your roof
- Detailed Quotation
- Forecasting of energy yields
- Analysis of savings and return on investment
We will present everything to you during the meeting, where we will thoroughly discuss each aspect and answer all your questions. Do not rush to decide - this is a serious investment that will serve you for decades.
