Solar Panel Installation Eligibility
Anyone thinking about solar panel installation
has a great idea and needs to be congratulated.
This is because with solar energy, you will be
powering your house using clean and
environmentally friendly electric power. However,
you want to know whether your home is a good
candidate for the best solar power solutions. The
installation of solar panels requires a
completely new and independent setup that will be
integrated into your establishment and before any
installation it is good for you to check for
eligibility.

As a homeowner, you may not really know whether
your home qualifies for solar panel installation
solar panel installers and providers have all the
answers. However, you need to have a rough idea
of what thy will be looking at even before they
arrive so you can decide before you make that
important call.

Roof orientation Solar panel installation on
your roof depends on the orientation of the roof
even though east and west facing roofs can be
feasible, you are better off with a south facing
roof if you want to get the highest amount of
solar power. Roof orientation plays an important
role in the functioning of your solar panel. The
reason southern facing roofs are ideal is because
they get maximum exposure to the sun for longer
hours when compared to those facing east or west.
The longer a roof is exposed to the sun, the
greater the efficiency. In addition to the
orientation, pitched roofs are better than flat
ones when it comes to solar panel installations
you may do with a fat roof also but the solar
panel will have to be tilted to the optimal angle.

Sun exposure You will get as much solar energy
as your solar panels are exposed to the sun sun
exposure is important and if there is anything
that is blocking it will need to be removed. The
ideal roof for solar panel installations is the
one without any shade or very minimal at best. It
is also possible for surrounding trees and
buildings to interfere with exposure and as a
result, you need to make sure there is nothing
that will limit the suns exposure tour roof.
Solar panel installation doesnt need angled or
complex roofs but rather flat or open roofs.

Roof condition Apart from the orientation and
the pitch, the condition of your roof is also a
critical factor for home solar the roof needs to
be strong enough to hold the weight of the solar
panel installation. A typical solar panel has a
lifespan of about 20 years and as a result, you
dont want to put in on a roof that will be
replaced in the near future new homes are most
ideal for solar energy solutions.

Adequate space Last but not least, the roof will
need sufficient space for the solar panel
installation. Because solar panels come in
different sizes, you need to make sure your roof
has enough space for the amount of solar energy
you hope to generate. Most typical solar panels
come in sizes of between 300-500 square feet.
