How To Choose The Right Solar System Or Solar Panels

How To Choose Solar System

Solar energy is becoming an increasingly popular source of renewable energy for both residential and commercial uses. Cependant, with so many different solar options available, it can be difficult to determine what type of solar system or panels are right for your home or business. Here are some tips to help you choose:

For residential use:

1. Assess your energy needs. Determine how much electricity your home consumes to size your solar system appropriately. Too small of a system won’t produce enough energy, while too large of a system is unnecessary and costly.
2. Choose between panels and solar shingles. Standard solar panels are the most common but solar shingles are more aesthetically pleasing. Compare the costs and energy efficiency to see what’s right for your needs.
3. Consider the inverter type. String inverters are the most common and affordable but microinverters or power optimizers can be better for complex roofs. Determine which type will maximize solar production for your unique roof layout.
4. Include storage options if needed. Solar batteries allow you to store excess solar energy for use later. Storage options make solar systems more practical in the event of weather events, outages or emergencies.
   

For commercial use:

1. Gauge your business’s electricity consumption. The size of your solar system will depend on how much power your business requires. Calculate your energy usage to determine what size solar setup will meet your needs.
2. Assess your roof space. Make sure your roof has enough free space to support the number of panels needed to power your business. You may need a ground-mounted system if you do not have adequate roof space.
3. Consider your budget. Large commercial solar installations can cost over $1 million. Discuss the costs, potential energy savings, and available incentives or financing options with installers.
4. Research providers that offer complete solutions. Companies like GYCX Solar can assess your needs, design full solar systems, install panels, batteries, mounts, onduleurs, and offer ongoing system management and maintenance.

I hope this article provides some helpful guidance on choosing solar for your residential or commercial property.
