I recently got solar panels installed on the rooftop of my house. We all know that it is vital for the solar panels to receive maximum possible exposure to direct sunlight so that they remain most efficient throughout the year. While the process of installation was going on, I came across some really helpful tips of solar panel installation written below:
Position solar panels to get direct sunlight:
Solar panels give maximum efficiency if they are placed in direct sunlight. While you are installing solar panels, try to position the photovoltaic array directly under the noontime sun for optimum performance from photovoltaic unit.
Remove any kind of obstructions to sunlight:
Try to find and remove all unnecessary items that may be blocking sunlight from reaching solar panels. To do this, trace the path of the sun and find if any object is casting shadow over your photovoltaic panels. If the path remains clear, the efficiency of your unit will definitely benefit. Taking care of this is as important as buying solar panels. Also, make sure that it is beyond reach of any kids or pets that can cause damage to the solar panels.
Mounting solar panels
If you consult the store owner while buying solar panels, he is likely to tell you about solar panel mounting systems. They are used to install solar panels on to RV and on or against roof, side of pole or on the ground. You can indeed install solar panels as a free-standing unit using these solar panel mounts. Basically solar panel mounts are available in three different varieties – pole mounts, ground mounts, and roof mounts.
Mentioned above are some very important tips that should be taken care of while installing solar panels. Installing solar panels on the roof top is comparatively easier. However, if you are installing it in an open area or as a stand alone unit, it needs more attention. It is always advisable to rely on an experienced professional for this task. After all, with correct installation only you can prevent any sort of damage and can get maximum efficiency.
