Solar Panel Installation in Bălan

About this service

A well-sized photovoltaic system covers a substantial share of a house's annual consumption, and the surplus can be fed into the grid under prosumer status. The installer calculates the required capacity from the last twelve months of bills, checks the roof's orientation and pitch, selects mounting hardware suited to tile, sheet metal, or membrane, and positions the panels to avoid self-shading. The electrical side — inverter, DC and AC protection, surge arresters, earthing — must be done by a certified electrician, because both yield and fire safety depend on it. On SmallJobs you'll find companies and installers who handle the whole process, from the site survey to the grid connection file.

What to check before hiring a solar panel installation

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
Check whether the quote includes the structure, inverter, DC/AC protection, and the connection file

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Do I need a building permit for photovoltaic panels?

For systems mounted on the roof of an existing building without structural changes, a building permit is generally not required. Grid connection under prosumer status does, however, require a file submitted to the distribution operator.

What does being a prosumer mean?

A prosumer generates electricity for their own use and feeds the surplus into the grid. The status is obtained through a file submitted to the distribution operator, and the energy fed in is offset against the energy consumed, under the ANRE rules in force.

How long does a photovoltaic installation take?

The installation work itself for a 3-6 kW domestic system generally takes 2-3 days. Connection and commissioning depend on the distribution operator and can take several weeks from when the file is submitted.

Does the installer need certification?

Yes. The electrical work and the connection documentation must be carried out by an ANRE-certified electrician. Ask for a copy of the certificate before signing — without it, the prosumer file cannot be submitted.

Can panels go on any type of roof?

They can be mounted on tile, sheet metal, bituminous membrane, or on the ground, using hardware specific to each case. The installer first checks that the roof structure can carry the extra load, around 12-15 kg per square metre.
