How to install solar panels?

The roof is the most suitable place for solar PV panels to be installed. The desired installation specifications are usually present on most roofs, ensuring that panels receive the maximum amount of sunlight.

However, if mounting solar panels on the roof is not feasible or desirable, they can be mounted on the ground. All you have to do now is make sure that nothing is blocking your sunlight.

Installation Process

These eight steps are mentioned to install a solar panel in your home.

1st Step(Set Up Scaffolding)

First, you must erect scaffolding to ensure your safety while on the roof during the installation process.

2nd Step( Install Solar Panel Mounts)

Must then install the solar panel mounting system. It will support the solar panels’ base. To get the most sunlight exposure, the entire mounting structure must be tilted at an angle of 18 to 36 degrees.

3rd Step( Install the Solar Panels)

You must install a solar panel on the mounting structure once the mounts are in place. To keep it stable, make sure all of the bolts and nuts are tightened.

4th Step(Wire the Solar Panels)

Electrical wiring is the next step in the installation process. MC4 connectors are commonly used because they are compatible with all types of solar panels. During the wiring installation, make sure to turn off the power to the house.

5th(Install Solar Inverter)

After that, the system must be connected to the solar inverter. It’s usually mounted near the main panel and can be found both indoors and out. When inverters are kept in a cooler environment, they perform better.

If the inverter is outside, it should be protected from the sun in the afternoon. If it’s installed indoors, the garage or utility room is usually the best option because they’re cool and have ventilation for most of the year.

6th Step(Bond Solar Inverter and Solar Batteries)

Along with that, the solar inverter must be linked to the solar battery. Solar battery storage can help you avoid worrying about a lack of usable energy during cloudy days and reduce the cost of installing a solar battery storage system.

7th Step(Connect the Inverter to the Consumer Unit)

To produce electrical energy, the inverter must be connected to the consumer unit. A generation meter should also be installed to track the amount of electricity generated by the solar panels. You can check the performance of your solar system with your computer or other devices.

8th Step(Start and Test Solar Panels)

The final step is to turn on the power and test the solar panel system that has just been installed. The solar panel installation procedure is then completed.
