PV modules are installed primarily on the roof of your home, but they can also be placed on terraces, canopies, or ground-mounted structures, depending on which configuration best suits your needs. To ensure an optimal installation, it is essential to evaluate:
- Available space: the roof must have sufficient free area to accommodate the solar panels.
- Exposure and tilt: To maximize solar energy production, the ideal orientation is toward the south with a tilt of about 30-35°.
- Absence of shading: trees, nearby buildings or chimneys can reduce the performance of the system, so it is important to place the panels in an area without obstacles.
The installation of the PV system is done in several stages:
- Technical inspection: an expert analyzes the building structure and exposure conditions to define the most efficient solution.
- Planning and paperwork: necessary inspections are carried out and applications are submitted for connection to the power grid.
- Installation of solar panels and inverter: the modules are securely fastened and connected to the photovoltaic inverter, the device that converts solar energy into usable electricity.
- Testing and activation: after operational testing, the system is activated and connected to the grid, allowing you to start saving on your utility bill right away.
With professional installation, your residential PV system will be efficient and reliable for more than 25-30 years, providing you with energy independence and long-term savings.
