Installation of solar panels

Solar panels have become the best alternative power sources in conditions of energy independence. In tandem with batteries, they provide backup power for a house, apartment, office or other facility. You can order a service of this plan through RBC ALBA LLC in a convenient way for you.

The difference between installing solar panels for a house and an apartment

Typically, the standard set of autonomous solar power plants includes:

solar panels;
an inverter for converting solar energy into electricity;
a battery;
aluminum or zinc-coated structures for mounting solar panels;
an energy storage device;
special connectors and cables.

Solar panels can be installed for use in both a private house and an apartment. The most popular location for this is the roof of a building. In this case, the coverage area, roof slope and location of the elements must be taken into account.

In many cases, such energy sources can also be mounted on balconies or loggias. Such installation will have its own characteristics. Most often, experts recommend using polycrystalline batteries, which are capable of generating electricity even in cloudy weather.

It is quite possible to install photovoltaic panels from the outside, but only if there is no glazing. If the balcony is on the top floor, then you can choose the option of installing a roof solar power plant.

Before purchasing a solar power plant, it is advisable to consult with specialists who will offer the optimal hybrid inverter models and suggest the best installation options.

Turnkey solar panels: what they are and the specifics of installation

The modern market offers two main types of silicon solar modules - monocrystalline and polycrystalline. The first option is considered the most popular, which provides a high level of efficiency, works better in low light, and allows you to get more energy from a smaller area. Separately, PV modules with Half-Cell technology are noted. They represent a modern standard in which the panel elements are divided in half. Thus, the devices reduce power losses and work better in partial darkness.

The features that the mounting system takes into account are as follows:

Mechanical loads and fasteners for solar panels.

Various methods are used, the choice of which depends on the type of roof.

Wind loads

Experts always take into account the indentations from the edge of the roof, its shape, the height of the building and the openness of the terrain.

Temperature gaps

Structural elements usually change their dimensions when heated and cooled. That is why much attention is paid to the presence of technological gaps between the panels.

Cables and connections

A special cable must be used to set up a solar hybrid solar power plant, as standard cables are not suitable for such situations. Their characteristics are designed for the constant current of the grid inverter, exposure to ultraviolet light, temperature changes, humidity, and prolonged exposure to the open air.

Stages of installation of a solar power plant

The first stage is design, during which the issues of the location of solar panels, the passage of connections, the strength of metal structures, and the selection of optimal inverter equipment are resolved. If necessary, additional building materials are planned to be purchased for each specific project. The following stages will follow:

Supply of network solar power plant equipment elements and materials - the company's employees bring the structural elements directly to the site.
Construction and installation work. The structural elements are installed according to the scheme, with subsequent connection using fasteners., solar panels are connected.
Connection to the network and testing of operation.

Service is the last stage. For a large solar power plant, a work schedule can be developed, including daily. Private solar power plants for the home provide for periodic monitoring of the functioning of the inverter equipment.
