The general process of photovoltaic (solar photovoltaic) installation is as follows:


Method/Procedure:

1. Project planning and design: determine the type, capacity size, module layout, etc. of the photovoltaic system, and carry out electrical design. Take into account factors such as sunlight exposure, shading, building structure, etc.


2. Materials and equipment preparation: Purchase the required materials and equipment such as solar PV modules, brackets, cables, inverters, junction boxes, etc.


3. Safety inspection and construction preparation: ensure the safety of the construction site and check whether the electrical wiring meets the requirements. Prepare the required tools and safety gear.


4. Bracket installation: According to the design requirements, install the bracket structure on the roof or ground. Make sure the bracket is sturdy and securely attached to the ground or building.


5. Install the PV modules: Install the solar PV modules on the bracket and fix them with screws or other fixtures. Ensure that the installation angle and orientation of the components meet the design requirements.


6. Connecting cables and strings: Depending on the design, connect the cables between the PV modules to form a series or parallel PV array. Confirm that the connections are correct and protected with the appropriate junction box.


7. Install the inverter: Install the inverter in a suitable location, usually close to the PV array. Depending on the length and requirements of the cable, the PV array is connected to the inverter.


8. Connect to the grid: Connect the output cable of the inverter to the power system of the house or building, usually through an electricity meter or other adaptation equipment. Ensure connection quality and safety, following local electrical codes.


9. Contact inspection and grid-connected access: According to the regulations of the region, contact the local power company or relevant departments to carry out the inspection and grid-connected access of the photovoltaic system. Ensure that the system meets technical and regulatory requirements.
