A solar system can only work properly if the solar panels can capture energy. Solar panels need sunlight to generate energy using the photovoltaic effect. Sunlight travels to the panel in the form of photons. When a photon hits a solar cell, it dislodges electrons from the cell, creating electron space. Inside each cell are two wafers, one with phosphorus added to create free electrons and a negat...

A rooftop solar ballast system is a method of installing solar panels on a flat roof. Concrete blocks are placed in a ballasted racking system to reduce the weight of the solar array and protect the panels from weather elements such as wind and snow. There are many benefits to using a ballast solar system instead of a traditional roof rack. Ballast systems on commercial rooftops provide: limited t...

A balcony solar bracket, also known as a balcony solar mount or balcony solar rack, is a mounting system designed for mounting solar panels on a balcony or rooftop terrace. It is designed for situations where traditional ground or roof mounting is not feasible or permitted. The balcony solar bracket is a lightweight and adjustable mounting structure that can be securely fixed to the balcony railin...
