Solar System Tips
Installing Solar can appear tedious and daunting; Here are a few images and tips that we learned & hope they help you out! The solar system we utilize is from Sungold Power; it was relatively easy to install and the package came with the majority of components needed to complete setup.
We did purchase the conduit and weather head, some 4GA wire for the battery connections, and a stand for the batteries.
- Choose some straight 2x4's and clamp them onto the roof; providing you with a ledge to set the solar panels on. This will allow the panels to slide forward and backward while keeping them at an even height.
- Overlap the feet of the solar brackets whenever possible, this reduces punctures in the roof and saves on screws. Once you are satisfied with the placement of the panels apply some caulk to the underside of each foot, around the screw hole.
- Run the wires down and over the edge of the roof; we used 3/4" PVC conduit with a weather head at the top to run the "+" & "-" wires to the junction box.
- This inverter and battery setup are required to be mounted indoors, so ensure you have a cavity that can hold you batteries and inverter.
