how to start solar design Layout

Question

Accepted Answer

To start a solar design layout, begin by conducting a site assessment and determining energy needs.

Conduct a site assessment to determine factors like sun exposure, shading, and available space.
Calculate energy needs based on electricity consumption and desired energy output.
Select appropriate solar panels, inverters, and mounting systems based on site assessment and energy needs.
Design the layout using software tools like PV*SOL or Helioscope.
Consider factors like tilt angle, orientation, and inter-row spacing for optimal energy production.
Ensure compliance with local regulations and building codes.
Regularly monitor and maintain the solar system for optimal performance.
