What procedures are required for solar panel installation?
To install solar panels and legally authorize them, a series of procedures must be carried out.
The procedures to be carried out are listed below in temporal order:
Obtaining a building permit
This first procedure consists of obtaining the necessary building permit from the municipality where the installation is located in order to legally carry out the work. By communicating with the municipality and submitting all the required documentation, the building permit will be processed.
RITSIC and RAC
Once the installation is complete and prior to the authorized installer sealing the CIE, the installation of a power generating system must be processed through the Canal Empresa. This procedure is essential to inform the administration of the power generated and to continue with the most important procedures for the user.
Subsidy application
In order to be eligible for subsidies, they must be processed in advance through the subsidy channel and the required forms must be completed.
Excess energy compensation
To compensate for excess energy, a new meter must be installed and the energy consumed must be compensated with the energy contributed to the grid through the energy supplier.
