Solar panels can harness solar energy to generate electricity for commercial and residential purposes. In both cases, the solar panel is installed on the roof Top to receive maximum sunlight and generate maximum electricity.
Few things you have to consider before the installation process:
1. You will need four main components of a solar power system: solar panels, a charge controller, solar inverter, and a battery pack. In addition to these items, you will require a breaker, meter, MC4 connector, and fuses, among other things.
2. Note down the home appliances that you use daily and calculate the ‘Watt-Hour’ by multiplying the runtime of a device with its power rating and keep in mind the size of the panel required to install on the rooftop.
The following steps are required in the installation process:
Step-1: Mount Installation
The first step is to fix the mounts that will support the Solar Panels. Depending on the requirement, it can be Roof-ground mounts or flush mounts, as this base structure provides support and sturdiness.
Panels should be installed in the direction where they can get maximum solar energy to yield full results.
Don’t forget to slightly tilt the angle of the mounting structure between 18 to 36 Degree.
Step-2: Install the Solar Panels
The next step is to fix the solar panels with the mounting structure. Nuts and bolts are tightened to fix the solar panels. Set the whole structure properly so that it remains strong and lasts long.
Step-3: Do Electrical Wiring
Electric writing is another crucial step in the installation process. MC4 connectors are used for wiring as all types of solar panels can be connected with MC4 connectors. These panels can be electrically connected with each other in the following series:
- Series Connection: In this case, the Positive Wire is of one module connected to the Negative Wire of another module.
- Parallel Connection: In this case, a Positive to Positive and a Negative to Negative connection is done.
Step-4: Connect the System to Solar Inverter
connecting the system to a solar inverter is the next step. The positive wire from the solar panel is connected to the Positive terminal of the inverter, and the Negative wire is connected to the Negative terminal of the inverter.
Step-5: Connect Solar Inverter and Solar Battery
Connecting solar battery and solar inverter is the next step. The battery’s positive terminal is connected with the positive terminal of the inverter and negative to negative. To store electricity backup, you need a battery in an off-grid system.
Step-6: Connect Solar Inverter to the Grid
The next step is to connect the inverter to the grid. A normal plug is used to connect to the main power switchboard. Next, an output wire is connected with an electric board that supplies electricity to the home.
Step- 7: Start the Solar Inverter
When all the electrical wiring and connections are made, it is time to start the inverter switch ON the Home’s Main Switch. Aus-Brite Solar is the best solar installer in Sydney. If you want to install rooftop solar panels, contact our experts.
