Technical
How do solar panels work?
Solar panels are made up of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into electricity. The electricity (DC current) is then sent to an inverter that converts it into usable energy (AC current) for your home or business.
How do I know what size solar panel system I need?
The size of the solar system depends on your energy usage and the amount of sunlight your roof receives throughout the year.
Based on past or predicted energy consumption, our engineering team will design the optimal system layout for your roof. Factors include heating, cooling, appliances, and water heating.
Our sales engineers are here to guide you through every step.
How can I monitor my energy production and usage?
You can monitor your energy production and usage through a smart meter or a mobile app. These tools allow you to view real-time data and identify areas for improvement.
Integra Solar systems come with a monitoring app (e.g. FusionSolar) provided by the inverter manufacturer. You can download the app to your phone to track production and consumption over time.
Installation, Maintenance & Warranty
How long does solar roof installation take?
The installation time can vary depending on the system's size, complexity and planning. On average, installing a solar roof can take 1–3 days. Simpler installations under 10 kW with minimal roof obstacles are often completed in a single day.
Please note that delivery of solar panels and equipment may take up to 2 months due to high demand. Various pre-installation steps such as permits and inspections must be aligned.
Our team coordinates closely with roofers and electricians to ensure a smooth and efficient installation process from start to finish.
What is involved in the solar roof system installation process?
The process includes evaluating your energy needs, selecting the optimal solar system for your property, securing permits, scheduling installation, and finally connecting the system to the electrical grid.
How do I maintain my solar panel system?
Solar panels require minimal maintenance, but regular visual checks and clearing of leaves, debris, or dust can help keep your system operating at peak efficiency.
