A Guide to Solar Panel Installation
Solar panel installation is one of the most effective ways to build renewable solar energy system at home or in office. A solar panel, solar electric battery, solar module, photo-electric module or simply solar panel is basically an assembled set of photo-electric cells installed in a frame for easy installation. Solar panels harness the heat and light energy from the sun to produce direct current electrical power.
Before mounting the solar panel installation on your home or office roof you have to make sure there is maximum sunlight on that part of roof. Also, you have to ensure that the whole surface has maximum sunlight. If you do not find direct sunlight on your roof then the area where you intend to install your PV panels should be located in such a location where it will receive direct sunlight all year round. Also make sure that the rooftop receives maximum sunlight so that your PV panels get maximum energy.
Another important factor for your solar panel installation is making sure that the solar cells are receiving sufficient amount of sunlight to power them up. It is important to have proper wiring before mounting the solar panels so that excess energy can be channeled to the battery. Proper wiring also ensures proper distribution of electricity to the battery bank. In addition, when you are installing solar panels in your home or office roof, you should also keep in mind that water can affect the efficiency of your solar panel energy production system.
There are many types of solar panels systems available and you have to choose one that is suitable for your electrical requirements. You can either choose to mount it on the roof of your house or somewhere in your garden. If you want to mount it on your house roof then make sure that the angle of the solar panel is such that it receives maximum sunlight during the day. It would be preferable if you could install Direct Mounted Solar Panels (DMSP) as they do not need any sort of conduits or duct work.
The solar panels need a connection cable to the DMSP system.
These are the most effective types of DMSP systems and they are also the safest. Installing Direct Mounted Solar Panels is a safe way of solar panel installation process as these require no conduits or duct work and they do not get affected by water. It is important that you also install a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in the main distribution line for greater protection against electricity overload.
When you want to install solar panels on your own then it is better if you consult a professional engineer who can guide you through the whole solar panel installation process. Also, it would be a good idea to arrange for a roof or garden site visit before you start with your DIY solar energy system. A roof or garden site visit will help you learn
about the best locations for your solar energy system as you can clearly explain to them all the technical aspects and the pros and cons of each location.
