How do you design a solar system?

Effective PV system design involves strategic solar panel placement. Aim for maximum sun exposure all year round, considering the seasonal changes in the sun’s trajectory. Commonly, this means south-facing panels in the northern hemisphere. The system size should balance your energy consumption, roof size, and budget.

How to install a solar panel?

Put enough wood under the solar panel where you will attach the hinges (see further), which fasten the solar panel to the lower part of the structure and allow you to set it at different tilting angles. The lower support structure has to remain stable even if the panel is upright (unless you don’t want that).

How to attach a solar panel to a wood structure?

The solar panel is now firmly fixed to a wood structure. Put enough wood under the solar panel where you will attach the hinges (see further), which fasten the solar panel to the lower part of the structure and allow you to set it at different tilting angles.

How do you Power a direct solar panel?

Put a fuse in between. Optionally, add an on/off button. Make sure the device you power can take the voltage that the solar panel supplies to it. If your direct solar PV system has a DC-DC converter, connect the plus and the minus of the solar panel to the plus and the minus of the DC-DC converter input.
