Safety Statement:
Informed Energy Solutions Inc (IES) wants to ensure that all customers are safe during the installation, operation and maintenance of their new and or existing products purchased from IES. It is therefore recommended that all customers do not attempt to install, operate or maintain their own systems if they are not trained to do so or have no experience with electrical, construction, general design and electrical and structural engineering.
Electrical systems are dangerous to those who do not know how to work on or around them. IES recommends that all electrical work be performed by a licensed electrician. Licensed electricians will require an electrical permit from ESA and an inspection from ESA prior to the operation of a solar system.
Depending on where a customer wants to install their new products, roof work may be required. IES recommends that only people with valid working at heights training be used. Those installers must follow the requirements of the training.
