What to Expect on Installation Day

Your Zelora Home Energy System is about to come to life.
Here’s a simple guide to walk you through what happens when your system is installed—and what you can do to help things run smoothly.

🛠️ Before We Arrive

In most cases, your Installer will bring all the equipment on the day. Occasionally, it may be delivered the day before.

Please make sure:
  • Your driveway or access points are clear
  • You’re home to sign off on the start of the installation
  • You have your Wi-Fi details handy so we can connect your system

🔧 What Happens During Installation?

Our Zelora Installer team will:

  • Install temporary safety railings if needed
  • Access the roof to install solar panels using metal mounting rails
  • Install your hardware
  • Mount the inverter and battery in the agreed location (usually shaded, near the switchboard)
  • Connect the battery to the inverter
  • Run cables from the panels to the inverter and switchboard
  • Complete the electrical work
  • Install switchgear (like circuit breakers and isolators)
  • Set up the system using the manufacturer’s app
  • Test everything to make sure it’s working perfectly
  • Issue a Certificate of Electrical Safety (CCEW)
  • Document the install
  • Take photos for compliance and upload them to the STC platform

✅ After Installation
Your Installer will:
  • Set up system monitoring on your phone 
  • Show you how to check performance and basic functions

⚡ When Will My System Turn On?

NSW: Your system will be connected the same day

📦 What Happens Next?
After installation, we'll take care of the rest:
  • Register your system with your energy retailer and AEMO
  • Finalise your STC paperwork and send it to you for signing

Once approved, we’ll send your Zelora Handover Pack, which includes:
  • System specs and manuals
  • Shutdown procedures
  • Troubleshooting tips
  • Contact details for support 
  • Once you receive your Zelora Handover Pack, your system will be fully up and running.
