Cardinal Directions: The most important consideration in locating solar panels is to ensure proper alignment to the sun with little or shading from nearby trees, vegetation or buildings. A site assessment will help determine the best location for solar system placement. 

 

Mounting Options: The next component involves mounting options. We offer several mounting options: 

• roof-mounted (on rails)

• ground/pole-mounted systems

• building-integrated designs that make the PV panels look more natural to the eye (see our Gallery of some recent examples).

Energy Capacity (wattage): The system size is determined by your electric needs. Obviously, the more electricity you use the larger the system size is needed to offset that usage.

 

A typical resident in Indiana uses 10,000 kWh / AC per year (you can find your own kWh usage on your electrical bills). A typical 7-8 kW solar electric system that is south-facing and has no shading from trees or buildings will harvest approximately 10,000 kWh AC on average per year.
