How a project runs

Typical timings for a rooftop system with a low-voltage connection. Larger projects follow a programme agreed per project.

Discovery & feasibility — Before contract
Engineering design — Weeks 1–3
Financing structure — In parallel with design
Procurement & build — Weeks 3–14
Commissioning & sign-off — Week 14
O&M & monitoring — Year 1 onwards — Daily yield reporting, quarterly maintenance, under an O&M agreement.

Timings are typical for rooftop systems with a low-voltage connection. Multi-megawatt, medium-voltage and battery projects run longer: the programme is set per project and depends on utility and NERSA approvals and on equipment lead times.
