Many homeowners are considering installing solar kits at home to take advantage of the free energy, tax incentives and clean conscience they offer.
But before you go out to buy the system or call the installer, you need to consider where it will be installed.
This article will help you decide.
Here are the questions you should ask yourself: 1.
Where is the best way to get sunshine?
Solar panels in the northern hemisphere should be facing the South or as close as possible to the south.
Many will automatically assume that this array should be placed on the roof.
But if your roof is not South
Facing the part, you may have to consider putting it on the ground or outside
Buildings such as cabins or garages. 2.
How many shadows will this place have?
Shadows will kill the efficiency of your group members faster than anything else.
You must consider your trees, the trees of your neighbors, vents, air conditioning equipment, and any other obstacles that may cast a shadow over your panel.
Don\'t forget that the angle of the sun changes not only in the time of the day, but also in the time of the year.
The best tool to determine what kind of shadow you will experience-
Round is a Solar Pathfinder that can be ordered in most online solar stores. 3.
Will shadows be a problem after 10, 20 or 30 years?
Solar panels can be used for 20 to 50 years.
So the system you installed today will last for a long time.
Take a minute to think about how high the bushes and trees will be in 30 years.
Can you trim it?
Will you? 4.
Do I need to touch them to clear the snow and/or clean them?
Homeowners in areas prone to snow, dirty rain or dust may need to clean the panels occasionally.
It can be dangerous and inconvenient if they are on the roof.
Typically, the placement angles of solar panels are close to 45 degrees, so they tend to \"clean\" themselves.
Regular cleaning is simple with a garden hose or a long broom. 5.
How much space does the system need?
The most common panels require about 1 square foot of space for every 10 watts of production.
For example, if you decide to provide about 3,000 watts of electricity to your home, you divide 3,000 watts by 10, divided by 300 square meters. ft.
This is about 17 feet by 17.
You also need about 3\'by 3\' area on the wall near the meter to install the necessary components.
If you are considering preparing a battery pack for this system, you need an area about the size and shape of the large freezer to store them. 6.
Can I adjust them as the angle of the sun changes?
As the seasons change, the angle of the Sun is also changing.
The best angle of the panel is 90-
Angle with the sun.
The more adjustable the panels, the more energy they generate.
The tracking system will follow the sun through the sky at any angle.
For those who do not want to change the angle of the system, the system should be placed at an angle equal to their latitude.
Therefore, people living in Spokane, Washington, will place the panels 48 degrees from the level. 7.
Is it close to my electricity demand?
Direct current generated by solar cells (DC)
Electricity, which is notorious for the loss of the line, means that further away it is necessary to travel and it loses more power.
The way to offset this loss is to use larger, more expensive wires to transport this energy.
Therefore, the further away from home, the greater the installation cost. 8.
How will this affect my neighbors?
It is clear that solar panels collect sunlight and therefore create shadows.
Will this cast a shadow over your neighbor\'s award-winning tomatoes?
Will the panels block their satellite antennas?
Solar energy is installed at least in part to become a good citizen locally and globally. 9.
What are the local zoning regulations and covenants?
Although most municipalities are \"greening\" the code they allow for renewable energy systems, they all have limits on the height and proximity of the property lines that the system can build.
It is usually worth visiting the local licensing office.
Try to talk to the most powerful person in this matter (
Usually director of planning or compliance officer)
So you avoided the whole \"but the lady at the counter said it was okay!
Talk on the road. 10.
Can I do it myself?
With proper planning and education, the toolkit provided today is easier to do than ever before --it-
Install solar energy for your homeowner.
However, you should always get the appropriate permission (
This process will tell you if you are allowed to put it on your own)
Before you start working.
You should also have a license and insurance (
Best Master)
The electrician performs final connectivity and testing on your system.
Keep in mind that it is dangerous to work on high ground, so be sure to use the right safety equipment.
