Licensing and regulatory services
PV approval for the construction of a solar system
In order to receive approval for a solar system (PV approval), a professional and orderly registration process must be carried out. The process includes an application to the electricity company for entry into the quota, and subsequently additional approvals, including a building permit and Form 4, a constructor's approval, approval by a Type 3 electrician inspector, electrical plans, etc.
In order to carry out the registration process in an orderly manner and without errors, you must use the services of a professional company that specializes in licensing and regulatory work and that is intimately familiar with working with the Electricity Company and other relevant entities.
More than once during our work, we encountered many difficulties that befell clients who tried to submit an application on their own. Through our knowledge and many years of experience, we were able in all cases to help the client complete the registration process and obtain the PV permit - a permit to establish a solar system.
In recent years, the Electric Company has greatly eased the conditions for submitting an application for a permit to enter the quota, especially for private homes (the green route), and today no permit is required for a solar system, except for systems over 700KW or ground systems.
Our skilled team is always in a learning process, and we hold meetings with the Electric Company and the various authorities in order to remain at the forefront of knowledge in the field of licensing and regulation.
In order to obtain approval to install a solar (PV) system, a structured registration process must be completed that includes several steps. The process begins with submitting an application for quota entry to the electricity company, and continues with obtaining required permits such as a building permit (if required), Form 4, constructor's permit, level 3 electrician's inspection permit, and detailed electrical plans.
To ensure that the process is carried out professionally and efficiently, Solarzi specializes in licensing and regulation in the field of solar systems. We are deeply familiar with the requirements and procedures of the electric company and the various authorities, and will accompany you throughout the process, while preventing errors that may delay the process.

What is upgrading an existing solar system?
Solar system upgrades are a process designed to improve the performance of an existing solar system by updating old components and incorporating new technologies. As part of the upgrade, older solar panels can be replaced with more efficient models, inverters can be upgraded, and advanced batteries can be added for energy storage. The goal is to maximize the energy output of the system and ensure reliable, stable, and efficient operation over time.
Solar System Upgrade: Key Benefits
Upgrading a solar system offers many significant benefits. First and foremost, it allows you to increase energy output and improve the efficiency of the system. Thanks to new technologies and advanced components, the system is able to produce more energy in a smarter and more effective way, providing the best solution for home or business needs.
Additionally, upgrading the system reduces ongoing maintenance costs and improves its long-term performance. Modern, reliable components require less maintenance and maintain a high level of performance over time.
Furthermore, the upgrade contributes to protecting the environment by producing green and clean energy, while reducing dependence on polluting energy sources. Producing electricity from the sun helps reduce pollutant emissions and supports the adoption of an ecological and sustainable lifestyle.
Steps in the upgrade process
Upgrading a solar system begins with a comprehensive inspection of the existing system to identify components that require updating, such as panels, inverters or batteries. The upgrade is then planned according to the customer's energy needs, including selecting advanced components and integrating new technologies. The next step involves installing the new components and testing their integrity. Finally, ongoing maintenance and periodic inspections ensure efficient operation over time.
When should you upgrade the system?
Upgrading is recommended when the system is inefficient, components are damaged or outdated, or when new technologies improve performance. It is a cost-effective solution when there is a need to increase energy output, for example due to an increase in electricity consumption.

What is an electrical connection increase?
Increasing the electrical connection is a process in which you contact the electricity company to increase the current that each phase in the electrical system can carry. For example, a standard connection in private homes in Israel is 3x25 amps. Increasing the connection to a connection of 3x40 amps or more allows the use of devices with high power consumption, such as underfloor heating, charging stations for electric vehicles, powerful ovens, induction hobs, or industrial air conditioning systems.
When should you increase your electricity connection?
Increased use of electrical equipment: When energy-intensive devices such as electric vehicle charging stations, heating systems, or industrial devices are added.
Overload problems: If fuses blow frequently or power supply disruptions are noticed.
Building upgrades: In cases of home renovation or expansion, including adding housing units or complexes with high electricity consumption.
Steps to increase electrical connection:
Needs assessment: Identifying the requirement to increase the connection and examining current and future electricity consumption.
System testing: Examining the electrical panel and existing infrastructure to adapt to the new load.
Contact the Electric Company: Submit an official request for an increase, including permits and technical plans.
Approval and coordination: Obtaining approval from the electricity company and coordinating the required work.
Electrical work: Upgrading the electrical panel, wiring and preparing the infrastructure by a certified electrician.
Testing and approval: System integrity testing and updating by the Electric Company.
Activating the connection: Connecting the system to the new load and checking for proper operation.
The process requires the involvement of a certified electrician and coordination with the electricity company.
This is a complex process that requires maximum safety. Solarzi has extensive experience in the field of increasing electrical connections and carries out diverse projects throughout the country, including connection increases for solar systems, private homes, and industrial plants. The company specializes in handling connection increases of all sizes, while fully complying with the most stringent standards and using advanced technologies.
Solarzi's team of experts accompanies customers throughout all stages of the process, from planning, through execution, to project completion and system operation, with an emphasis on personal and professional service.
