1. Introduction
Welcome to Voltmax (“we”, “us”, or “our”). The following Terms and Conditions (“T&Cs”) apply to the provision of solar roof photovoltaic installation services provided by us to you, the customer (“you”, “your”). These services include, but are not limited to, the assessment, installation, and maintenance of photovoltaic (PV) systems, otherwise known as solar panels, onto your property.
By engaging us to provide these services, you agree to be bound by these T&Cs. We recommend that you read these T&Cs carefully before committing to use our services. If there are any aspects of the T&Cs that you do not understand or agree with, please contact us before proceeding.
Our main goal at Voltmax is to provide top-quality solar roof installation services in a transparent and straightforward manner. We believe in open communication and the provision of comprehensive information to ensure that you feel comfortable and informed at every stage of the process.
The purpose of these T&Cs is to outline the rights and responsibilities of both parties in a clear and understandable way. By doing this, we hope to avoid any misunderstandings and to provide you with a positive customer experience.
By accepting these T&Cs, you are confirming that you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts and that you will comply with all the terms as laid out in this document.
If you have any questions about these T&Cs or any other aspect of our service, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We are here to help and we look forward to serving you.
Thank you for choosing Voltmax.

3. Eligibility and Assessment
Before we initiate any project, Voltmax undertakes a thorough site assessment (“Assessment”) to determine the suitability of your property for the installation of a photovoltaic system. This Assessment comprises a comprehensive evaluation of multiple factors, including, but not limited to, the orientation and slope of your roof, shading and environmental aspects, compliance with local building codes, and any necessary planning permissions.
The Assessment may entail an in-person visit to the proposed Installation Site, a remote assessment leveraging modern technology, or a blend of both methods, depending on the circumstances and at the discretion of Voltmax. The process and any potential costs associated with this Assessment will be explicitly communicated to you before it commences.
Your request for our Services and the subsequent Assessment does not inherently imply that your Installation Site is suitable for a photovoltaic system. Voltmax reserves the right to decline any order if we find the Installation Site unsuitable, or if the installation is deemed to be unsafe or unfeasible for any reason. Such a decision and the reasoning behind it will be communicated to you promptly and transparently.
Should your Installation Site be deemed suitable, we will provide you with a detailed Quote for the proposed work. This Quote will be based on the information gleaned during the Assessment, in conjunction with your specific needs. It will delineate the cost of the products and Services required for the installation of the photovoltaic system at your property.
By accepting the Quote, you confirm your agreement with these T&Cs and express your intention to proceed with the installation. The Quote, once accepted by you, along with these T&Cs, collectively form the Agreement between you and Voltmax.
Please note that the commencement of all installations is contingent on Voltmax‘s final approval following the Assessment. If the Assessment reveals a need for any alterations to the Quote or the installation plan, these changes will be communicated to you for your approval prior to initiating the project.
4. Quotes and Contracts
Once the Assessment has been completed, Voltmax will provide you with a detailed Quote for the proposed work. The Quote will include all relevant costs including the price of the photovoltaic system, installation costs, and any additional services or items required for the project. This Quote will be valid for a specified period, which will be clearly mentioned in the Quote.
It is important to note that any Quote provided by Voltmax is an estimate, not a contractual offer. The Quote is based on the information available at the time of the Assessment, and actual costs may vary if new information or unforeseen circumstances arise during the course of the project.
If you wish to proceed based on the Quote, you will need to confirm your acceptance in writing. Upon receipt of your acceptance, Voltmax will provide you with a formal contract. This contract will incorporate these T&Cs and any additional terms agreed upon between you and Voltmax.
By signing the contract, you are affirming your acceptance of the quoted price and the T&Cs, and expressing your commitment to proceed with the project. Once both parties have signed the contract, any changes to the scope of work or cost can only be made with mutual agreement in writing.
Voltmax is committed to full transparency and open communication throughout the project. We will inform you promptly if any additional work becomes necessary or any unforeseen circumstances arise that may affect the timeline or cost of the project.
Please review all documents carefully before signing. If you have any questions or concerns at any stage of the process, do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to help you understand and feel comfortable with all aspects of your solar installation project.
5. Scope of Work
The scope of work that Voltmax provides encompasses the comprehensive suite of services necessary to install a photovoltaic system at your Installation Site. These services are designed to be a complete package, taking you from initial Assessment through to the completion of the installation and subsequent operational maintenance.
Our services include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Site Assessment: Detailed evaluation of the Installation Site to establish its suitability for a photovoltaic system. This includes evaluating the condition and orientation of your roof, surrounding environment, and local building regulations and permissions.
2. System Design and Planning: Based on the results of the Assessment, we will design a photovoltaic system tailored to the specifics of your Installation Site and your energy needs. We will plan the installation, addressing all technical, logistical, and regulatory aspects.
3. Installation: The physical installation of the photovoltaic system at your Installation Site. This includes installing the solar panels, inverters, batteries (if applicable), and any other necessary equipment. It also includes integrating the system with your property’s existing electrical system.
4. Testing and Commissioning: After installation, we will conduct a thorough test of the photovoltaic system to ensure it is functioning correctly and safely. We will also provide guidance on how to operate and maintain the system.
5. Documentation and Permissions: We will provide all necessary documentation related to the installation and operation of the system. We will also help facilitate any necessary permissions or interconnection agreements required by local utility companies or other authorities.
6. Post-Installation Support: After the installation, Voltmax will be available for any queries or issues you may have. We will also provide options for routine maintenance and any necessary repairs to ensure the longevity and performance of your photovoltaic system.
The exact scope of work for your specific project will be detailed in the Quote and subsequent contract. If there are any changes to the scope of work due to unforeseen circumstances or changes in your requirements, we will notify you promptly and adjust the plan and Quote as necessary, subject to your approval.
6. Payment Terms

Here are our payment terms:
1. Quotation: After the Assessment, we will provide you with a detailed Quote for the proposed work, which will clearly itemize the costs of the photovoltaic system, installation, and any other additional costs. If you decide to proceed with the installation, you will be asked to sign a contract agreeing to these costs.
2. Deposit: Upon signing the contract, you will be required to pay a deposit, the amount of which will be specified in the Quote. This deposit secures your booking and allows us to order the necessary equipment for your installation.
3. Payment Schedule: The balance of the payment will typically be split into stages, each of which corresponds with a key phase of your project (e.g., upon delivery of materials, halfway through installation, upon completion). The specifics of this payment schedule will be clearly laid out in your contract.
4. Final Payment: The final payment will be due upon completion of the installation and successful testing and commissioning of your photovoltaic system. Once we receive this final payment, we will provide you with all relevant documentation, including warranties and operation manuals.
5. Payment Methods: We accept a range of payment methods for your convenience. These include bank transfer, credit card, and checks. Details will be provided in your contract.
6. Late Payment: If any payment is late, we will inform you promptly. Please note that consistent late payment may result in delays to your project and could incur additional charges as specified in the contract.
7. Changes to Costs: Any changes to the cost of your project, due to changes in scope or unforeseen circumstances, will be agreed upon in writing before proceeding with the additional work.
We understand that investing in a photovoltaic system is a significant financial commitment. If you have any questions or concerns about the payment terms, or if you encounter any difficulties during the payment process, please let us know. We will do our best to assist you and accommodate your needs.
7. Cancellations, Refunds, and Delays
At Voltmax, we understand that unforeseen circumstances may necessitate changes to your project. Our policies concerning cancellations, refunds, and delays are designed with your best interests in mind, while also respecting the planning, resource allocation, and work already performed by our team.
1. Cancellations by You: If you need to cancel your contract with Voltmax, we ask that you notify us as soon as possible in writing. If cancellation occurs after the cooling-off period mentioned in your contract, any deposit made may be non-refundable to cover the cost of materials ordered and any work already carried out. If no work has started or materials ordered, we may refund a portion or the entirety of your deposit, as per the conditions specified in your contract.
2. Cancellations by Us: While we strive to avoid such circumstances, Voltmax reserves the right to cancel the contract under certain conditions such as infeasibility of installation discovered post-assessment, extreme weather conditions, or other unexpected events. In such a scenario, we will inform you promptly and will refund any deposit paid unless work has been completed or materials have been ordered.
3. Refunds: Refunds will be processed according to the terms stated in your contract. Generally, refunds will be provided for services or materials not delivered or for cancellations made within the cooling-off period.
4. Delays: Our team at Voltmax will make every effort to complete your installation according to the schedule outlined in the contract. However, delays can occasionally occur due to reasons beyond our control, such as adverse weather, unforeseen technical difficulties, or delays in supply chains. We will keep you updated on any delays and work diligently to get your project back on schedule.
5. Force Majeure: Voltmax cannot be held responsible for delays or failure to fulfill its obligations due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, such as natural disasters, pandemic, or significant changes in governmental regulations. In such cases, we will communicate with you promptly to renegotiate deadlines or, in extreme cases, cancel the project.
Please review the cancellation, refund, and delay terms in your contract carefully. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to ensure your satisfaction and peace of mind throughout your solar installation journey.

We adhere to all relevant safety standards and building regulations. The installation process will be organized to cause minimal disruption to your property and daily routine.
2. Safety: We are committed to maintaining a safe working environment on your property during the installation. We expect our team members to follow all health and safety regulations, and we ask that you respect these safety measures for your own protection and the protection of our team.
3.

By agreeing to these T&Cs, you give permission for our team to access these areas. We will always treat your property with respect and will leave the Installation Site tidy after completing our work.
4. Unforeseen Site Conditions: If during the installation we encounter unforeseen site conditions that require additional work (e.g., structural issues with the roof, electrical system upgrades), we will pause the installation, inform you of the situation, and discuss the best way to proceed. This may result in additional costs which will be communicated and agreed upon before resuming work

6. Post-Installation: After installation, Voltmax will be available to address any queries or concerns you may have. If any issues arise with the photovoltaic system, we request that you contact us directly and do not attempt to fix the problem yourself, as this could be dangerous and might invalidate your warranty.
At Voltmax, we want you to have full confidence in our installation process and team. If you have any questions or concerns at any point, do not hesitate to contact us.

At Voltmax, we stand by the quality of our products and our installation services. We also understand the importance of ongoing support for the optimal performance and longevity of your photovoltaic system. Here’s what you can expect:

3. Claiming Warranty: If you believe you have a warranty claim, please contact us directly. We will liaise with manufacturers on your behalf and manage any necessary repairs or replacements. Do not attempt to repair the system yourself, as this may void your warranty.
