HOW DOES SOLAR TECHNOLOGY WORK?
Solar Photovoltaic is the newest technology known to mankind which consists of several key components such as the solar panels(modules), the inverters or micro-inverters, racking systems, monitoring systems and other smaller equipment that work together to harvest the photons of the sun-light and then turn it into clean & renewable electricity.
The solar technology will eventually be used in many areas in our everyday lives which will lead to environmental benefits as well as economical improvements.
Due to higher incentives and rebates for businesses, solar makes just as much if not more sense for business owners. Add in the depreciation factor for a solar energy system capital expense, and the financial incentives become even more attractive.
Installation Types
- Flat Roof Solar Panel Installation:
- Ballasted Mount: Use weights and do not make penetrations.
- Mechanically Attached: Mounted to the post secured on the roof beams and special roof leak protection is added to each penetration.
- Hybrid Mount: Know as a minimally attached system and uses some structural attachments combined with typical ballasted design which results in minimal penetrations.
- Ground Mount Solar Panel Installation:
Some buildings are not well-suited to solar installations because of location, size, or orientation. In these cases, where surface area permits, a ground-mounted system is an option.
If your property has some acreage to spare, a ground-mounted solar array can be a terrific option for you. Depending on your budget, space, and energy needs, a ground-mounted system has a lot of benefits. The most primary benefit is that the system is easier to access and has no interaction with your roof – which means you don’t have to worry about damaging roofing materials, water leaking into your home, or moving the panels around in the case of a roof replacement.
- Canopy Solar Panel Installation:
The limitation of roof space may intrigue you to look for other options to install your solar system. Solar canopy is also a good method to solve that problem which provides the installation space as well as shading area for more convenience. A great example of solar canopies are the carports which according to solar developers, are merging as one of the fastest growing segments of the market.
