The announcement is relatively simple: you just need to inform your network manager of your new installation so that the energy production is correctly taken into account in your electricity bill.

You will certainly need to send them your station's declaration of conformity:

Declaration of Conformity: HomeFlex and Balcony Max .

The station is fully guaranteed for 25 years for an estimated lifespan of more than 30 years.

The solar panel is truly designed to last and withstand climatic hazards:

Hail protection : resistant up to a diameter of 25mm with an impact speed of 23m/s (83 km/h).

Maximum wind/snow load : 3600 Pa pressure and 1600 Pa vacuum according to IEC 61215*
* Test load at 5400 Pa and 2400 Pa with safety coefficient 1.5
