10-Step Solar Installation Process: From Rooftop Survey to Net Metering Handover
A flawless solar installation requires precision engineering, strict electrical safety compliance, and seamless regulatory coordination. At EKOSYS, we follow an accountable 10-step installation methodology that guarantees your system performs reliably for decades. Here is the complete journey.

Key Engineering Takeaways
- Step 1 to 3: Digital shadow survey, 3D structural engineering, and DISCOM feasibility approvals.
- Step 4 to 7: Heavy-gauge galvanized structure erection, module clamping, DC/AC wiring, and chemical earthing.
- Step 8 to 10: Pre-commissioning quality testing, DISCOM net meter installation, and mobile app handover.
- Complete transparency with dedicated engineering milestones and safety checklists.
Phase 1: Survey & Engineering Design (Steps 1 to 3)
Step 1: On-Site Rooftop Assessment. Our engineers visit your property to measure dimensions, verify structural load capacity, and perform 360-degree solar pathfinder shadow analysis.
Step 2: 3D CAD Layout & Electrical Design. We create a customized 3D layout showing panel orientation, tilt angles, string sizing, and cable routing.
Step 3: DISCOM Feasibility Application. We submit technical documentation on the national portal to obtain formal grid feasibility sanction from NBPDCL or SBPDCL.
Phase 2: Structural Erection & Electrical Integration (Steps 4 to 7)
Step 4: Hot-Dip GI Mounting Structure Erection. Heavy-gauge galvanized steel structures are secured using chemical anchor fasteners with multi-layer waterproofing.
Step 5: PV Module Mounting & Torque Clamping. Solar panels are precision-aligned and fastened using anodized aluminum mid/end clamps tightened to specified torque ratings.
Step 6: Inverter Installation & Conduit Wiring. Dual-insulated solar DC cables are routed inside UV-resistant conduits to the inverter, DCDB, and ACDB distribution boxes.
Step 7: Chemical Earthing & Lightning Protection. Dedicated copper-bonded earth pits are installed for DC, AC, and Lightning Arrestor circuits.
Phase 3: Testing, Net Metering & Handover (Steps 8 to 10)
Step 8: Pre-Commissioning Testing. Our quality team verifies Voc/Isc string parameters, insulation resistance, and anti-islanding trip times.
Step 9: DISCOM Inspection & Bi-directional Net Metering. Utility officials inspect the installation, seal safety switches, and replace your traditional meter with a bi-directional net meter.
Step 10: Commissioning, Mobile App Setup & Handover. The plant is energized! We configure your mobile monitoring app, explain basic care, and provide your complete warranty documentation kit.
