• Solar panels can be seen on more and more roofs
  throughout the U.S., and globally, the use of
  solar systems to power homes and businesses is on
  the rise, too. If youre seeking to understand a
  bit more about solar power and how it could help
  you save money on your energy bills, while
  reducing your carbon footprint, weve compiled a
  short and basic guide to solar panel systems
• Where can I get a solar panel system from?
• There are many solar energy companies that you
  can approach with respect to investing in a solar
  panel system. Shopping for solar panels is just
  like shopping for any other item you want to
  find the best quality system, for the best price,
  and only by getting estimates from several
  companies, are you able to do this.

• Where should I install my solar panel system?
• Generally, solar panels are installed on roofs
  and the tops of buildings, or on a standalone
  facility. The most important consideration when
  deciding where to put them, is their direct
  exposure to sunlight, as solar panels perform at
  their optimum capacity when placed in direct
  sunlight. Your photovoltaic panels should be
  positioned directly under the noontime sun for
  maximum efficiency, and all obstructions should
  be removed wherever possible. Your chosen solar
  energy provider will also ensure that no shadows
  are cast over the panels throughout the course of
  the day, and of course, will provide you with a
  professional installation.

• What are the different types of solar panel
  mounts?
• Solar panels are installed using mounts, and
  these come in 3 different types
• 1.Pole mounts
• 2.Roof/ground mounts
• 3.Flush mounts
• Using one of the above types of mounts, your
  solar panels can be professionally installed on
  the roof of a building, as a free-standing unit,
  or even on the top of an RV.

• Things to think about before having solar panels
  installed
• It can of course, be helpful to know how much
  your solar panels and the installation process
  will cost you, and its important to remember
  that there may be various subsidies available
  that will help you bring the cost down. Your
  chosen solar energy provider will be able to
  break down the cost for you in detail, and guide
  you towards the most affordable system for your
  needs.

• Youll also need to think carefully about what
  size solar system you require, or can afford, and
  again, a conversation with a local solar energy
  provider will help you narrow down your options.
  They will look at the types of electrical
  appliances you use on a daily basis, and help you
  to calculate how many hours a day you typically
  use them for. Once theyve come up with the
  wattage requirement, theyll know what size solar
  battery and wire to install for you.

  owners worldwide who have gone solar, and start
