The tilt angle is also important, the average roof pitch found on most Australian homes is suitable. However, if you have a flat roof Watters can supply tilt frames that allows the solar panels to be adjusted to the optimum angle, interesting this angle should match the latitude to your location. The Watters solar panel installation team can usually install your new solar system within a single day. This will depend on the system size and how easy it is to access your roof.

First, the mounting frame is attached to your roof, next the Solar panels are installed and connected, modules can be arranging in different configurations. Watters solar panel installation will weather the harshest of Australian storms, plus you have peace of mind that your system is backed by Watters.

The inverter is best installed close to your existing meter box, either inside or outside installation is fine if the inverter is not exposed to direct sunlight. A Watters installer then connects the solar panels up to the inverter and finally, a Watters installer connects the system to your existing meter box and works through a series of quality assurance tests before commissioning your new solar system.
