09 Sep 7 Aspects to be taken into account when installing a solar panel
The installation of solar panels has become one of the most efficient solutions to reduce electricity consumption and bet on clean energy. However, before installing a photovoltaic system in your home or business, it is important to analyze certain factors that influence its performance and profitability.
1. Panel orientation and tilt
The position of the panels is key to maximizing solar gain. In the northern hemisphere, the ideal orientation is usually to the south, with an inclination that varies according to latitude. A good installer will evaluate these conditions to ensure the highest energy production.
2. Condition and capacity of the roof
Not all roofs are prepared to support the weight of solar panels. It is advisable to perform a structural check to confirm the strength and stability of the roof before proceeding with the installation.
3. Energy consumption of the home or business
Knowing the electricity consumption profile helps to correctly size the installation. A previous study will allow to calculate how many solar panels are necessary and if it is convenient to add batteries for storage.
4. Formalities and local regulations
Each autonomous community and municipality may have specific regulations on solar photovoltaic installations. It is important to find out about licenses, subsidies and tax benefits available.
5. Equipment quality and warranty
Not all solar panels offer the same performance. Choosing quality modules with a guarantee of at least 20-25 years is essential to ensure the durability of the investment. It is also advisable to check the efficiency of the inverter and the possibility of integrating monitoring systems.
6. Choice of certified installers
A common mistake is to get carried away only by price. It is best to work with certified installation companies that offer guaranteed installation and after-sales service.
7. Possibility of self-consumption with surpluses
In Spain, the regulations allow surplus energy to be fed back into the grid and to be compensated in the bill. This model of self-consumption with surplus compensation improves the profitability of the photovoltaic system.
