The majority of residential solar panel systems as well as commercial solar panels are installed on the roof. There are a few factors to be considered in roof mounting to maximize efficiency while minimizing cost. First we need to consider the pitch and orientation of the roof surfaces in relation to the sun. Understanding that path of the sun changes in the sky throughout the seasons we want plan for placement of panels to be the most efficient thought the year. Some roofs may be partially shaded by neighboring trees. Placement of solar panels in unobstructed sunlight for as much of the day as possible will maximize the potential of your system.
Different roofing materials and pitches require different mounting methods which will factor into the cost of the system and the difficulty of installation. Do not worry, we have sound solutions for nearly every kind of roof you can imagine and out solar panel installers are experts at getting the job done with excellence..
Aesthetics are an important for many homeowners. If there are options as far as placement of panels that you prefer we will go the basics with you and pass that information along to our solar design team, but keep in mind, efficiency is king. We want to place the least amount of panels in the most effective places to save on overall cost of the system. We will also want to get an idea of where your electrical panel is located and where we will need to mount inverters or possibly even install solar power banks if you opt for emergency back up electrical or are installing an off-grid system.
A less common option, due to space constraints in most residential homes are ground mounted panel systems. These are more common in rural areas, but occasionally if someone has the space they can be installed on your property as well. Ground mounted systems typically save on installation cost.
