Where Should I Install My Solar Panels?

Good question—and it’s very important too! The location where your solar panels are installed should be carefully chosen to ensure you receive maximum energy yield from your panels. Simply put—you want your panels to be installed in a location that receives bulk sun and is never blocked by trees or surrounding structures. This is why you commonly see solar panels installed on the roof; the greater sun consumption you get, the more power you can generate.


You can trust the skilled solar electricians from Forster Solar and Lighting to ensure your panels are installed at the best location on your property. We will conduct a thorough review of your site to find the best spot.

  • What should I do to prepare my property before installation day?

    Before your solar installation, it’s helpful to clear any obstacles around the meter box, switchboard, and roof access areas. If there are overhanging branches, trees or debris near the roof, trimming or clearing them in advance ensures a smoother install. You should also inform your installer of any pets, access restrictions or potential safety concerns. Having someone home—if possible—can also help with any last-minute questions or decisions on install day.

  • Will installers need to turn off my power during the installation?

    Yes, power will typically need to be turned off for a short time while the solar system is connected to your switchboard. This ensures safe electrical work and avoids the risk of shocks or damage to appliances. The outage usually lasts between 30 minutes to a couple of hours, depending on system complexity. Installers will usually give you a heads-up before the shutdown begins.

  • How do you determine the best panel layout for my roof?

    The ideal panel layout is based on several factors, including roof orientation, pitch, available space, and potential shading from trees or nearby buildings. North-facing panels generally produce the most power in Australia, but east-west layouts can also be effective depending on energy usage patterns. Installers use solar mapping tools and on-site inspections to calculate sun exposure and optimise placement for maximum output. A good layout balances performance, appearance and ease of maintenance.
