Solar Panel Installation in Craiva

About this service

Installing a photovoltaic system means sizing it against the household's consumption, fixing the mounting structure to the roof or ground, mounting the panels, running the DC cabling, installing the inverter and protection panel, then commissioning the system and filing the grid connection paperwork. An electrician holding an ANRE certificate is required to carry out the electrical work legally and to sign the documentation for prosumer status. Beyond the installation itself, specialists check that the roof structure can take the extra load, choose the right inverter — on-grid, hybrid, or off-grid —, fit battery storage systems, and set up production monitoring. A properly installed system generates power for 25-30 years with minimal intervention.

What to check before hiring a solar panel installation

Ask separately about the workmanship warranty and the manufacturer's warranty
Don't accept an installation without a prior check of the roof structure's capacity
Compare at least three quotes for the same installed capacity
Ask for access to the production monitoring app from commissioning onwards
Ask for a copy of the electrician's ANRE certificate before signing the contract
Size the system from your actual 12-month consumption, not from your roof area

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a 5 kW system produce in Romania?

Depending on region, orientation, and pitch, a 5 kW system generally produces between 5,500 and 6,500 kWh a year. The south of the country receives more solar irradiation than the north and the mountain areas.

Is battery storage worth adding?

Batteries raise the share of your own production that you use and provide power during outages, but they add significantly to the investment. They pay off best for households with heavy evening loads, when photovoltaic output is zero.

What maintenance do photovoltaic panels need?

Very little: a clean once a year or every two years, a check of the mountings and connections, plus keeping an eye on output in the inverter's app. A sudden drop in yield usually points to shading, a faulty string, or dirty panels.

What warranty do I get on the installation in Craiva?

The workmanship warranty is usually 2-5 years. Panels carry a 12-15 year product warranty and a 25-30 year performance warranty, and inverters 5-12 years, all provided separately by the manufacturers.

How much does solar panel installation cost in Craiva?

Labour for an on-grid 3-5 kW system typically starts at 3,500 RON and reaches 7,500 RON in Craiva, depending on roof type, the distance to the electrical panel, and the complexity of the mounting structure. Equipment is quoted separately.

What system size do I need?

Sizing starts from your last 12 months of consumption. As a rough guide, a house using 3,000-4,000 kWh a year is covered by a 3-4 kW system, while one with a heat pump or an electric car needs 6 kW or more. The installer works out the exact figure from your bills.
