My system is not a roof top type system.
Pergola with solar panel.
When might you.
It consists of 55 sunpreme pv panels and 3 sunny boy 5000tl us inverters.
But they have one big disadvantage.
Having them on top of this free standing.
The majority of small scale solar installations go on the roof but not every roof is ideal for solar.
I felt a roof top system would not meet my needs so i opted for a solar system installed on top of a pergola in my backyard.
Our big kahuna srp is a perfect fit for the solar contractor looking for another way to expand their solar installation offerings or the serious diyer prepared to configure and install their own solar pergola.
With some smart design you can make use of this by integrating solar panels into shading structures for your homes such as pergolas canopies and carports.
Every part of the frame is custom cut and fabricated to fit your space and design aspirations.
Probably you can t install your panels on that free standing structure.
This is where the solar pergola solar gazebo or solar patio cover as well as the solar carport enter the picture.
Solar power pergolas by contrast are standard pergolas which have been roofed with solar panels instead of a more conventional pergola roofing material such as battens or polycarbonate panels.
These pergolas can be installed in any backyard and design is limited only by the shape of the panels opening up a wide range of aesthetic possibilities.
Ground mounted solar panels are one alternative to consider.
Which reduces how much energy you ll need to buy from your utility company plus decreases your carbon footprint.
They require substantial amounts of real estate space that you can t use for anything else.
I constructed a 26 x 16 free standing pergola out of pressure treated lumber to support the 24 jinko 255 watt panels.
These structures are often commonly referred to as solar pergolas.
Our 100 customized for you solar pergolas are absolutely stunning.
Luckily if you have the right space there are plenty of other system designs that you can use for your solar panels.
The panels are inclined at 20 degrees and facing approximately 200 degrees.
Solar panels absorb direct sunlight and convert it into electricity.
For one thing solar panels may be too heavy for the roof on the pergola.
Every panel comprises solar cells that produce direct current or electricity.
Each panel is connected to a sma sb 240 microinverter.
Types of solar panels for shading.
They are all dual use structures so they re more space efficient than a ground mounted setup.
We create an outdoor space that is sure to become your favorite entertaining and relaxing area.
While offering many of the same design features as our standard big kahuna pergola the big kahuna solar ready pergola kit is configured to accommodate solar panels.
