Construction quality of solar power system

The life time of a solar power system is more than twenty years. To insure long life, the quality of the hardware and construction is critical. Typhoons and earthquakes often occur in Taiwan. If the windproof and waterproof capability, along with the structural durability and the reliability of the construction process is not enhanced, the system would not be safe enough for users. Initial Solar puts strong emphasis on SOP and quality control of the construction, while the technically certified construction team conducts design and actual building.

投資太陽能發電如何獲利?-目前政府採用電能躉購制度(Feed-in Tariff, FIT)來獎勵推動再生能源設置。與台電簽約並通過能源局備案審查後,20 年內皆保證以固定費率售電給台電每年穩定獲利,年投資報酬率可達 6~13%,且各地縣市政府另有提供系統設置補助。
Our professional construction method
Enhance structure


The framework uses multiple upper weights to enhance its structure and increase connection with the rooftop.

Enhance waterproof and windproof capability


Rooftop connection uses Hilti RE500SD premium implanted fasteners, which are highly water-resistant and windproof. Waterproof paint will be applied on the concrete foundation base as well.

Structural reliability


Four bolts are fixed on each connection point, and will be overlaid with a Nylok blue patch. Our technician will apply the gel permanently over male or female bolts to prevent loosening.

Professional equipment


MC4 connector presser will be used, while ground resistance will be estimated, in addition to megger inspection and EL inspection.

On-site supervision


A-class electrician and solar power technician ensure structure/facility are installed properly.

Construction material and inspection

Materials from major manufacturers are used. We also provide EL inspection with customers after the products’ completion at factory.

Construction Quality

Taiwan is an earthquake and typhoon prone country. To maximize the durability of solar power ststem from nature disasters, a throughly installation process is required. InitialSolar provides the service including pre-installation consultation, SOP controlled installation, and post-installation quality cehck to ensure the reliability of our solar power system.


Installation process of solar power system

Operation & maintenance


Subjects of maintenance and function
Surveillance system


We use Google cloud surveillance to ensure the stability of the server, and are able to react to any situation in real time.

Electronic examination


We examine the function of the system through the latest state of the art equipment to insure the system is optimized.

Washing


We are kept updated about the generating condition through live surveillance system, and provide system washing service instantly.

Regarding installation of solar power systems
Would a solar power system produce noise and electromagnetic waves?

A:Solar power systems do not generate noise during operation. A solar panel of 20,000 kilowatts would only produce the same number of electromagnetic waves as an ordinary appliance (such as computer), which is vastly lower than the environmental limits of the EPA, and does not endanger the human body in any way.

Does solar power produce no pollution?

Solar power systems produce no pollution during operation. However, during manufacturing, industrial waste water and gas could be produced, which the factory by law must control to safe standards (waste water and gas disposal). The production of solar panels is like that of semiconductors, albeit without the production of the frontal tip of reticle mask. The production of such frontal tip tends to result in waste gas and toxic water which could result in cancer. Therefore, the pollution it produces is less than semiconductor manufacturers. In addition, compared to traditional coal-fired power generation (thermal power), solar power systems create less than 90% of the air pollution caused by coal-fired generation, even adding in pollution during production.

Would a typhoon damage solar panels?

Solar panels are supported by steel or aluminum framework. The structural design has been approved by technicians. The durability of the structure can handle natural forces like typhoons.➤➤➤To know the construction method

How long would it take from signing a contract to ful operation of a solar power system?

In addition to design and construction, applications must be submitted to Taipower, the Bureau of Energy, and Construction Management Offices of local governments. The installation could take 1-3 months depending on the projects scale, while from signing the contract to the full operation of system takes three to six months. After three months of documentation, selling can begin. ➤➤➤To know the detailed procedure

Can it be installed on an apartment building?

1. It can be processed through Regulations for Condominium Management
*Article 31: Host a meeting of unit owners and receive the agreement over conference. (Two thirds of the units’ owners must be present, while more than three quarters of participants must agree to it.)
*Article 32: Re-summon the assembly if the agreement is not reached according to Article 31. Three owners of the property and one fifth of residents must be present, while over half of participants have to agree upon the settlement.
*Article 33: Installation on rooftop should be approved by the owner of the level.
*According to Article 34, the notification will be sent to the owners of units 14 days after the meeting. Exclusive usage must be clarified. Note: rooftop should not be considered exclusive.
2. Areas without management committee may follow the regulation of Civil Law.
