Step By Step Guide to Install the Solar Panel System

Installing solar panels at your home or at business place is the great way to take the advantages of alternative or natural source of energy i.e. Solar energy and cut short your energy expenses to the lowest possible level. Through solar system one can increase their savings by reducing electricity bill charges from traditional source of energy.

Following are some basic steps of the solar panel installation.

1) Choose Roof or Solar Rack

One can install solar panels on the rooftop of a house or on the racks. The installation process on the stack rack is easier form of installation compared to the rooftop installation. If you are planning to install the solar panel on the roof, consider looking for the best place for installation. After this you may have to reroof or repair your roof.

2) Consider Sunlight Location


After considering the location, the next step is to make sure that the solar panels are installed in a location with maximum exposure to sunlight. Select an area in your roof or property for installing your solar panels where the sunlight will be available for the maximum time possible and mounted at an angle to maximize accessibility to the sun’s direct rays.

3) Mount Solar Panel System

The very next step in the installation process of solar panels, is to mount solar panels on the roof or on a solar rack at the angle to absorb maximum sunlight. While setting up the mounts for your solar panel system, give 3 to 6 inches clearance for the flow of air under the panels, to enhance the efficiency with your solar panel installation.

4) Connect Your Solar Panels

When your solar panels are mounted in a proper manner, the final step is to make the connection between each solar panel (connect solar panels to each others) and connect (wired) with your home electricity junction boxes.
