Solar Panel Installation and Maintenance
Solar System Components
Solar systems are made up of solar panels (modules), a mounting system, and a solar inverter with computerised controller. Solar panels produce DC electricity from sunlight. Then the inverter converts the generated electricity into AC, so that it can be used in the household. The computerised controller manages the solar system and ensures optimal performance. If you want battery backup system or an off-the-grid solar system, a battery is required.Solar Panel Installation
The most common location for the installation of solar panels (solar PV) is the roof. Most roofs typically have the desired specifications for the installation. Nevertheless, if installation on the roof is not applicable or desired, the solar panels could also be mounted on the ground. You just need to make sure that there are not objects constraining their access to the sun.Setting up a solar battery storage at the same time of installing a solar system can save you from worrying about the lack of usable energy during cloudy times, it can also lower the solar battery storage system costs during installation. Inverter Installation
The inverter is typically installed near the main panel and it could be both indoors and outdoors. Inverters are more efficient if kept in a cooler place. If the inverter is outdoors it should be kept out from the afternoon sun. If it is installed indoors, the garage or the utility are usually the best places, since they stay cool for most of the year and have ventilation.
