<p>Solar electric panel arrays for stand-alone systems are installed in many unique and innovative ways, such as Pitched Tile Roof Mounting,Tin Roof Solar Mounting, <a href="https://www.tripsolar.com/" target="_blank">Floating Solar Structure</a>, Steel Solar Carport Mounting and Steel Ground Solar Mounting . However, there are common issues involved in any installation – whether the array is roof mounted, mounted at ground level, or on a pole or building. </p><p><br></p><p>Our goal is a solidly mounted solar panel array that will last for years and withstand all kinds of weather. Whether you buy or build an installation structure, make sure it is fixed and the modules are constrained. </p><p>The characteristics of various mounting materials need to be considered when installing solar brackets:</p><p><br></p><p>Aluminum – lightweight, strong, and resistant to corrosion. Aluminum angle is an easy material to work with, holes can be drilled with commonly available tools, and the material is compatible with many PV module frames. Aluminum is not easy to weld.</p><p>Angle Iron – easy to work with but corrodes rapidly. Galvanizing will slow corrosion but <a href="https://www.tripsolar.com/" target="_blank">solar mounting bracket</a> and bolts will still rust, particularly in a wet environment. The material is readily available and brackets can be welded easily.</p><p>Stainless Steel – expensive and difficult to work with but will last for decades. May be a good investment in salt spray environments.</p><p>Wood – inexpensive, available, and easy to work with but may not withstand the weather for many years – even if treated with preservative. Attaching modules to a wooden frame requires battens or clips to hold them in place.</p><p>The foundation for the array should be designed to meet the wind load requirements of the region. Wind load depends on the size of the array and the tilt angle. Ask a local contractor how to anchor your array to withstand the wind expected in your area.</p><p><br></p><p>In general, installing solar panels on the roof is more complicated than installing them on the ground or on columns. Roof brackets are more difficult to install and maintain, especially if the roof orientation and Angle are incompatible with the optimal solar array tilt Angle. Penetration of the roof seal is inevitable and leakage may occur. It is also important to attach the array mounting bracket firmly and securely to the roof. Connecting mounting brackets to rafters will provide the best base, but this can be difficult because module sizes and rafter spacing are often incompatible. If access is available under the roof, 2 x 6 inch blocks can be inserted between the rafters and attachments mounted on the blocks. The plywood sheath that connects the array to the roof can cause damage to the roof, especially if there are likely to be high winds. </p><p><br></p><p>If roof installation is required, make sure to leave a clear air flow path on the roof below the array. If the array is at least 3 inches from the roof, it operates at a lower temperature and generates more power. It is not recommended to install solar panels flush on the roof of a building. Modules are more difficult to test and replace, and array performance is reduced due to higher operating temperatures. Tripsolar <a href="https://www.tripsolar.com/" target="_blank">solar bracket manufacturer</a>'s roof stand uses handy design assistant tools to guide you through the list of components you need, depending on your location, wind/snow loads, type of solar panel, and more. </p><p><br></p><p>Some pole mounts from companies like Tripsolar allow you to assemble at waist level, wire the solar panels at eye level, chain hoist your array up to the top, and adjust your tilt angle from the ground. No more heavy equipment, cranes, scaffolding, or large ladders needed!</p>
