Installation of solar systems can be a problem if you are not an expert. The first step is to find the best roof that would carry the solar panels. Moonlight solar offers high-quality street lights that you can pair up with the solar system and illuminate your house.
Once you have selected an appropriate place to install the solar plates, you can decide upon how to position the solar system.
Positioning the solar system
If you have set up the solar plates on the ground, you have more freedom in terms of choosing the direction of the plates. You can let the plates loose and keep changing their positions as the sun circles from the east to the west. You can observe for a couple of days as to which direction the sun takes. The best practice is to work on the meteorological data to find out about the right movements of the sun in the area you live in. When you have the right data about the directions of the sun throughout the year, you can determine the best angle for the solar panels.
Well, most people are mistaken that the sun moves. Apparently, the sun makes a circle however in reality the earth revolves. If you also have thought about it, the best method is to forget that the earth is moving. Do away with this complexity and follow the sun as it moves.
When the math is done, you need to use the rear legs of the panels to position the panels in the most optimum direction possible to generate maximum electricity.
You must wire your solar panels to your conduit
The conduit can only be wired if you have a junction connector and one fuse combiner. Strip off the panel modules and wire them in the form of pairs before you connect them to the fuse box.
If you don’t have sufficient knowledge about electricity, you should hire an electrician to make the connections. You must properly connect the stripped wires. Connect the red and black wires to the positive and negative terminals.
The next step is to connect the solar breaker to the circuit breaker, which will channel the energy to the charge controller and battery.
Connection of cables and control panels
Connect the electric cables to the solar panels with the help of the conduit. The conduit should be underground for safety and efficiency.
- Connect the green cables to the grounding strip
- Connect the black cables to the negative terminal
The last step in the installation process is the installation of a battery bank. It is highly recommended that you place it close to control panels.
In the process of installation of the solar panels, you must take care that you are positioning them well. The amount of power depends on how much the panels have been exposed to the sun. Buy flexible solar panels that you can move as the sun moves for better results. They would cost you a bit more but they will also provide a bigger amount of electricity.
