Securely mounting solar panels is vital to ensure their stability and optimal exposure to sunlight. You can choose between the two: solar panel roof mounts and solar panel ground mounts, depending on your property layout and space available for installation.Solar Panel Roof Mounts are a type of solar panel installation that places the panels directly on your roof, maximizing the potential of your property. This twofold approach converts your roof into a dynamic power source, generating clean energy while preserving outdoor space. Elevated placement ensures constant exposure to sunlight, amplifying energy production and maximizing solar investment.
Prioritizing roof strength to support panel weight is crucial. Aligning panel orientation with the sun’s path optimizes energy capture.
Solar Panel Ground Mounts is a method of generating electricity from sunlight using free-standing solar panels that are installed near ground level, either on a metal frame or attached to a pole. These ground-mounted solar installations differ from rooftop panels in a few ways:
Installation
Location
Alignment
MaintenanceIn terms of ground-mount solar installation, there are two main options:
Standard Solar Panel Ground Mount – A metal frame or racking system is attached to the ground, and holds your panels at a specific angle.
Solar Panel Pole Mount – Solar panels are attached to a metal frame, and that frame is then attached to the top of a pole mount, elevating the panels higher off the ground and allowing for additional customization. With pole-mounted solar, you can add a tracking system (either single-axis or dual-axis) that rotates throughout the day to maximize exposure to sunlight.
Solar Panel Ground Mounts typically require more empty space around them than rooftop panels, as they have to contend with shading from trees, buildings, and other tall objects. This is why you usually see them on farms, ranches, and other properties with a lot of flat, open land, but rarely see them in traditional urban and suburban residential areas.Art Sign Solar,founded in 2006, which is one of the biggest professional manufacturer of solar roof mounting system for flat roof,metal roof and tile roof, solar ground mounting system and relative solar mounting accessories in China, we also supply various solar panel mounting components.
