When it comes to solar panel installations, safety, access, and compliance are essential. At Erect It Scaffolding, we specialise in purpose-built edge protection systems designed for roofing and solar installation work across Wellington, Hutt Valley, Kapiti, and Porirua.
Our team understands that solar installers need fast turnaround times, reliable communication, and scaffolding setups that keep the site fully compliant while allowing your crew to work efficiently.
Why Solar Installers in Wellington Choose Erect It
WorkSafe compliant from day one — All our edge protection systems meet WorkSafe NZ's Working at Height requirements for solar installation. Your installers are covered, and so is your liability.
Fast setup — We erect edge protection in a single day for most residential solar jobs. Your installer can start the following morning.
Flexible hire periods — Solar installations typically take 1–3 days. We offer short-term hire to match, with no minimum hire period penalty.
We coordinate directly with your installer — If you're a solar company, we can deal directly with your site crew. Your customer doesn't need to manage two separate contractors.
Do You Legally Need Scaffolding for Solar Panels in Wellington?
Yes. Under WorkSafe NZ's Working at Height guidelines, any work at height above 3 metres requires fall protection. This applies to solar panel installation on standard residential roofs.
Edge protection — guardrails along the roof perimeter — is typically sufficient for solar work. For steeper roofs or larger commercial arrays, full scaffolding may be required. Dhillon can advise which option suits your specific job.
How It Works
1. Call or request a quote — Tell us the address and roof size. We'll get back to you within 24 hours with a firm price.
2. We erect the edge protection — Usually completed the day before your installer arrives.
3. Your installer works safely — Full perimeter protection, compliant and ready.
4. We dismantle and remove — Once the panels are in and signed off, we come back and clear everything away.
