What is Solar Installation?

In layman’s terms, it is the process of putting together a set of solar panels and other equipment to form what we call a “solar system.” This is not the solar system in space but a term used for the system that supports your solar panels to gather energy from the sun.

Solar Installation In Progress

Why it is important to know?

As a Homeowner: It is vital to have this information to help you make informed decisions should you decide to install solar panels for your home. Whether for long-term savings or environmental benefits, this knowledge can help you understand what solar installation entails.

As a Business Owner: Utility charges are increasing every month. As a business, finding ways to reduce operational costs and enhance income without sacrificing work quality is crucial. Exploring solar as a solution can be a good start in understanding solar installation and its process.

Moreover, a recent study indicates that “Climate change will increase the value of residential rooftop solar panels across the US.” This suggests a potential boost in solar installations in the coming years.

Types of Solar Installation

There are three known types of solar installation:

  1. Residential Solar Installation: Solar installations on homes, typically on rooftops in residential areas.
  2. Commercial or Industrial Solar Installations: Installations on business properties or industrial sites designed to generate significant electricity to meet business or industrial needs.
  3. Solar Farm Installations: Also known as solar parks or photovoltaic power stations, these installations cover large land areas to generate substantial solar power, often sold to the grid or used by large companies.

Now, you might wonder how it is being carried out? To give you a general idea of how it is done, below is the solar installation process followed by Prime Energy Solar to ensure the quality of the work.

When it comes to solar installation, having the right equipment is essential for maximizing energy efficiency and ensuring long-term performance. Below is a list of key solar equipment components, each playing a vital role in your solar energy system.

  • Solar Panels: High-efficiency photovoltaic panels that convert sunlight into electricity.
  • Inverters: Devices that convert the direct current (DC) generated by solar panels into usable alternating current (AC) for your home.
  • Mounting Systems: Durable racks and frames that securely attach solar panels to your roof or ground.
  • Battery Storage: Optional energy storage systems that store excess solar power for use during night time or power outages.
  • Monitoring Systems: Tools that track your solar system’s performance and energy production in real-time.

Solar panels typically last 25-30 years, with many systems continuing to produce energy at reduced efficiency beyond that timeframe. 

In most cases, rainfall is sufficient to keep panels clean. However, in dusty or pollen-heavy areas, occasional cleaning may be needed to maintain optimal performance. We recommend inspecting your panels periodically and scheduling professional cleaning if debris build-up is noticeable.

Yes, solar panels can be installed on flat roofs using specialized mounting systems designed to angle the panels for maximum sunlight exposure. These systems often include ballasted racks or tilt frames, ensuring durability and efficiency without compromising your roof’s integrity.

Savings depend on factors like your energy usage, system size, and local electricity rates. On average, homeowners save 20-30% on their energy bills annually, with some eliminating their electricity costs entirely. Over the system’s lifespan, savings can amount to tens of thousands of dollars.
