 Tips
on Solar Power System Installations
|
|
 |
It is always recommended that you hire a
professional to install and wire your solar energy system.
|
|
|
Many government programs, both federal and
statewide, offer financial assistance, tax breaks and rebates
for the installation of solar power for homes and businesses.
Check your states’ programs to fully benefit from these
services.
|
|
|
Before installing any system you should check
the amount of solar energy that your location receives to see
if solar energy is appropriate.
|
|
|
When installing stationary cells in the
Northern hemisphere they should always be somewhat
south-facing.
|
|
|
|
Discuss your plans to potentially connect to a
grid with your local utility company.
|
|
|
he angle of the panels relative to the ground
should be equal to the latitude of your location to maximize
the sunlight harnessed year-round.
|
|
|
Avoid an all-or-nothing mentality. Every
amount of solar energy that is used will eventually save both
money and the environment.
|
|
|
Use past energy bills to help provide an
estimate of the amount of electricity that you desire from
your solar power system. Don’t forget to take into account
seasonal variations of energy usage.
