Key Concepts

• Photovoltaic Effect: The process by which sunlight knocks electrons loose in semiconductor materials, creating a flow of electricity.
• Solar Panels: Arrays of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity.
• Solar Inverters: Devices that convert the DC electricity from solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity compatible with household appliances.

Chapter 2: Planning Your Solar Installation

Prepare your home or business for solar power by carefully planning your installation. Determine the size and capacity of your system, select the right equipment, and navigate the permitting process.

Important Considerations

• Energy Consumption: Calculate your average energy usage to determine the size of solar system you need.
• Roof Space and Orientation: Assess your roof's orientation and shading to maximize sun exposure for your solar panels.
• Local Regulations: Research building codes and permitting requirements in your area before proceeding with your installation.

Chapter 3: Installing Your Solar System

Step-by-step instructions guide you through the process of installing your solar system. Learn about mounting equipment, wiring connections, and connecting to the grid.

Essential Safety Precautions
