A step-by-step guide to getting your solar power system
Contact Jersey Solar Solutions Ltd (JSSL) by phone on 07700399572 or email jerseysolarsolutions@gmail.com and arrange a time for our staff to make a site visit to your property.
Collect your past year's electricity bills and / or contact the JEC and ask them to email you your previous 12 months' usage in 30 minute readings as a pdf. JSSL will review your electricity bills to determine the solar installation that will best support your electricity usage.
During the site visit JSSL will inspect your fuse board and your meter, as well as the property's capability to site solar panels, batteries and other solar infrastructure.Â
JSSL will then design one or more options that will allow the solar power system to maximise electricity production at the most affordable cost to the home owner. This will be set out in a quote emailed to you.
To proceed with the installation, accept the quote.
JSSL will submit an application to the JEC for their permission for the planned installation. Permission can take between 3 hours and 3 weeks to arrive.
Once approval from the JEC is received, JSSL will submit the order for the main materials with our local supplier.
You will pay the supplier directly for the order, which will ensure that you are being charged at wholesale prices.
While waiting for the materials to arrive (this can take between 2-3 weeks), JSSL will begin preparatory work at your property.
Once the materials arrive the main installation will take place. The time frame for this depends on the specific job and the weather. JSSL will keep you up to date on time frames and progress.
Once the installation is completed, JSSL will test the system and issue a Solar PV electrical certificate to confirm that the electrical installation work has been designed, constructed, inspected and tested in accordance with British Standard 7671 (The IET Wiring Regulations).
Once this is done, JSSL will submit an invoice for the work they have undertaken.
JEC will install a buyback meter at your property to measure the amount of electricity you provide to the grid, for which you will receive a credit on your quarterly JEC bills. The JEC can take between 2-6 weeks to undertake the installation.
