Having determined how many solar clamp

Components Of A Grid-Tied solar mounting system With Battery Backup

1. Solar Panels

The solar panel, which goes by a variety of epithets, including solar module or photovoltaic (PV) panel, is where the whole process of turning solar energy into usable electricity begins. A single panel consists of a number of cells that contain silicon, and these react with the sunlight to produce DC (direct current) electricity.

In order to run appliances within the home, several panels will be needed to produce enough solar electrical power. These panels will be joined together to form an array.

2. Mounting Racks

Having determined how many solar clamp will be needed to cover a home's solar power requirements, the next thing to work out is where to put them and how. The "where" can be either on the roof (the most common option), on poles set in concrete or on the ground. The "how" is where mounting racks come in. Mounting racks are used to secure and orientate the PV panels (south-facing is generally best as far as the amount of available sunlight is concerned).
