SOLAR ENERGY
Mount the Solar Panel Most solar panel packages have mounting brackets, which are normally attached to your platforms. However, if your solar panel package does not have mounting brackets, you can contact your dealer or purchase them elsewhere. Place your mount four feet apart on your solar platform. Be careful when drilling holes; put and fasten your steel bolts in the holes to seal solar panel mounts on the platform. Secure the solar panel to the mounts. Once your solar panel is mounted, you can connect your electrical chain. The wires should run under the panel. Wire the Solar Panel If you do not intend to get a professional for this job, you must understand how nonidentical stringing configurations affect a
solar panel’s current, voltage, and power. After you are familiar with stringing configuration, it is easier to choose an inverter for the solar panel. Wire the array to the inverter to transform the Dc power generated by panels to Ac power that can be sent grill. The least and greatest voltage should be in the inverter range. Once the setup is complete, electricity will flow into your building’s electric panel. Connect your cables The final step, pass the electrical cable from the solar panel into your house through an underground conduit. Ensure you get the right size of cables for the solar system to avoid short fuses and overheat when you have a power surge.
