The current supply chain issues have not skipped the solar industry, meaning 2022 is a more uncertain year than normal for solar. So far, residential solar installations have continued to set records, impacting installation wait times, with some companies reporting up to 3 months delay.
Normally, from the time your home is inspected and deemed suitable, to the purchase of the products and the installation of the solar panels themselves, the process can take around a month. The installation itself, takes between one to three days.
Does switching to solar now mean I won’t feel the burn of soaring energy prices?
With delayed installation timeframes, the sooner you book in your initial consultation the sooner you can harvest your own solar energy and reduce your power bills. Our advice is to get in quickly as these energy prices will not go down. With the higher coal and gas prices due to global instability and reductions in thermal (fossil fuel based) generation, the prices are expected to continue rising.
