Energy Saving

How to install solar panels on your own

Install a solar panel brings with it many positive aspects; it allows us to save on their electricity bills, we become independent from the network operator and mainly emit less CO2. You will enjoy very substantial benefits, please contact the extent of this field to get funding.

The photovoltaic system works thanks to the property of some semiconductor materials that allow you to have electricity when traversed by light energy. Typically for 10 square meters of solar panels can have a KW of power.

We talk about grid systems or self if the power generated is stored in batteries; instead, the term systems connected to the network, when the energy generated is fed into the power grid is not directly used, and is taken when the user needs to use electricity.

In order to install the solar panel, you will need to be practical in DIY. To begin the installation, follow these steps.

Make sure you have at hand: Drill, Screwdriver, Welder, Solar panels.

  • Make sure that the roof is south facing and has an inclination of 30°. If you have the possibility to choose an environment with these characteristics, we can take full advantage of the photovoltaic panel, otherwise, we will have to be content ourselves by choosing a compromise.
  • Now you must rely on your average annual energy consumption in order to choose an appropriate power for the PV system. To calculate the power of the panels we rely on the STC (Standard Test Conditions), which is 1 KW per square meter at a temperature of 25° C.
  • Get yourself an electric drill if possible, a screwdriver and soldering iron. Using these tools, you can fix with accuracy the number of photovoltaic panels on the roof that you want, help you with media for tiles, best to fix the panels.

  • Make sure the panels are secure on the roof. You can connect the modules to the controller. This will allow the accumulation of energy into the battery. Remember to attach the inverter to the battery. Give close attention to recent steps taken, are the most important and delicate.
  • Now you must ensure that the installation of your home is to work well with the new system to acquire electricity.
  • After completing all the above steps, you can contact the energy you choose, it will install a meter to measure the energy production of the panels.

Never forget: Remember to perform maintenance, mostly for cleaning the panels and performance tests.
