There are 2 ways to install your Hélios kit, either on the wall using our fixings designed for it, or on the ground in your garden or on your roof terrace with our other fixing system!

Installation of a Helios kit on the wall

The steps for this type of installation are:

• Place the drilling supports on the wall
• Make the holes where indicated
• Screw the fixings to the wall
• Attach the inverter and its support to one of the fixings
• Clip the solar modules to the fixings
• Connect the modules together
• Once you have completed these 8 small steps, you will produce your own green electricity!

Installation of a Helios kit on the ground

The steps for this installation are:

• Attach the brackets to the panels
• Assemble the weight plates to the supports
• Attach the inverter to the fixing closest to the outlet
• Add weight to ballast the panels or screw the fixings to the floor
  Connect the modules together

And in the case of several kits?

To install several kits on the same socket, it's just as simple! Only one step needs to be added once the two kits are in place, it is a connection between the inverters, which are then plugged into the socket!

From an electrical safety point of view, the following recommendations must be respected 🙂: no more than 900W connected to a socket circuit (ADEME recommendations). This therefore corresponds to a maximum of 2 Hélios 420W kits

And you are officially in self-consumption!

Several criteria are necessary for your production to be maximum:

Guidance

Good exposure is essential so that the kit can provide maximum electricity for self-consumption. The ideal orientation is due south. An East or West orientation remains relevant, but if you only have space to the North for installation, this should be avoided.

Tilt

Tilt is also an important factor to consider. The fixings in the kit are naturally inclined, whether at 30° for those on the floor, or at 60° for those on the wall. Therefore, we recommend that you respect these inclinations, and therefore install your solar kit on a flat surface, whether horizontal or vertical.

The absence of shadow

Be careful, Helios and shadow do not mix! In addition to the 2 criteria above, it is necessary to check that the desired installation location is free of shade. Whether it's a tree, the roof overhang, the neighbor's house, an electric pole...everything can be a source of shade, whatever the season.

If you want maximized production, be sure to check carefully!

The connection

There are a few points to check when connecting the Hélios solar kit to the electrical outlet. First of all, it must be close to the installation. Then, the socket must be 230V 16A 2PT+E, and connected to a quality earth. The electrical circuit must be wired in a minimum of 1.5mm square, and protected by a 16A magnetothermic circuit breaker. Finally, the electrical circuit must be protected by a 30 mA differential circuit breaker

To find out more about our solar kit, you can go to the “Connected solar kit” tab or consult our technical sheet.

Roof installation is unfortunately not possible, we only offer wall and floor installations .

The Hélios kit is not currently designed and sized to be installed on the roof. An installation on the roof requires validating the resistance of the fixings to wind 💨and snow loads 🌨️ specific to their location on a roof. Furthermore, installing a solar kit on a roof can impact the waterproofing of the roof 💦 by changing the location of certain tiles. Current Hélios Kit installations do not take this constraint into account.

⚠️We cannot guarantee Hélios kit equipment if it is installed on a roof and we do not encourage our customers to install it like this. However, it can be placed on a wooden shed roof , of low height, in which there is no waterproofing problem. It will still be necessary to leave an air gap of 5cm to properly ventilate the panels. A ground kit can be placed on a flat roof . To do this, you will need to ballast it well and screw it into the ground with screws suitable for your roof.

A power of 370W per Kit

Thanks to Hélios Kit you can offset up to 20% of your annual consumption. This represents the consumption of a refrigerator, an internet box, 5 LED bulbs and a Hi-fi system

Small installation area

To correctly install your solar kit, all you need is 2.5m on the ground or wall and a standard outlet!

Adapted to your needs

If a simple kit isn't enough for you, no problem! You can connect up to 3 Kits on the same electrical circuit.

Ease of installation

The Hélios solar kit gives you access to self-consumption. For this, 15 minutes of installation and you will use the electricity produced directly
