Some Tips of Solar Modules for New Construction

Solar Modules For New Construction:

Presently, people started adopting solar rapidly due to the increasing demands for electricity and climate change problems. The decreasing prices of solar and the government policies have also encouraged people to adopt solar. If we pay attention to the increasing adoption rate of solar, then it’s clear that soon people will start produced their own electricity via solar & will consume it. Seeing this, now buildings are being made solar-friendly in India so that consumers can use solar energy in a better way.

In this blog, we will learn about what are the things you need to consider before installing solar modules to new construction.

Check The Roof Strength for Installation Work:

As we all know that solar is a long-term investment. The ROI of the solar energy is minimum 15 years, so the patience is very important.
The solar panels along with the mounting structures are very heavy, so the strength of the roof is very important. As the power generation capacity of the solar solution will increase, its weight will also increase.

Now to install the mounting structures, you need to drill and screw them on the roof so here thickness of the roof is also something one needs to take care of.

Suitability & Direction For Installation:

To know about the place or home that is suitable for solar, there are some key points given below:

1. There shouldn’t be any shadow falling on the panels. Shadow can lower the power generation capacity of the panel by 30%, so you need to avoid the places where there are tress or tall buildings.
2. The energy performance of solar panels depends on the panels’ installation direction. Sunlight is more in the southern direction, so keep panels south-facing that helps solar panels in producing more energy as the panels will get maximum sunlight from here. Besides, panels can also be placed in the east and west directions. Since India is located in the Northern Hemisphere, the panels are not to be placed in the north direction.

Accessibility of Location:

Location is another important factor for the solar energy. As the solar panels are installed on the roof, it is necessary to ensure that there is a suitable space for the height and width of the stairs at the place of the user. So that the solar panels can be transported to the roof without any loss. If there is less space around the stairs then there will be difficulty in moving the panels.

Type Of Wiring Connection:

Wiring is the most important part of solar installation. Before installing the module, planning for a wiring connection helps to set the system to perform in more efficient way.
The consumer will need to install a PVC pipe of at least 2 inches in diameter, in which both solar and earthing wire can be inserted.
One should also needs to understand that the earthing wire needs a minimum 1-meter distance from the wall.

Calculate the Home Load & Decide the Type of solution:

Before selecting the solar solution, you need to be ensured about the home load. For knowing the correct way to calculate the home load, you can refer to the given link. After the calculation, you can select the perfect solution as per your requirement. Also, the correct selection requires a clear division of the home load.
The user will also need to understand the difference between off-grid, On-grid and hybrid solar solution so that they can decide which one to install.

If the purpose of installing the solar solution is to reduce the electricity bill, then customer can use an on-grid solution, but if the main purpose of the user is power backup, then user should choose an off-grid solution.
