Racking and mounting can often be the most complicated portion of a solar PV system installation. The racking is the foundation of the system - it protects the modules, the roof and people over a lifetime that can exceed 25 years.
Solar tracking mounts are particularly advantageous in regions with significant variations in solar elevation and azimuth angles throughout the year. Areas with abundant direct sunlight and pronounced seasonal changes, such as deserts or locations closer to the equator, can benefit greatly from solar tracking mounts.
Evaluate the space available for solar panel installation. For rooftop systems, consider factors such as the size, orientation, and shading of the roof. In the case of ground-mounted systems, assess the available land area and identify potential obstructions that may affect sunlight exposure.
On the other hand, tracking mounts enhance energy production by adjusting panel angles, albeit with higher costs and more complex installation requirements. Compared to fixed mounts, tracking mounts can generate over 30 percent more solar power. Solar trackers generally fall into two types: single-axis trackers and dual-axis solar trackers.
Solar tracking mounts employ motors and sensors to continuously adjust the position and angle of solar panels. By tracking the sun’s movement and optimizing the tilt angle, the panels can receive optimal sunlight exposure, resulting in increased energy production compared to fixed mounts.
Consistency is a primary factor in providing better customer service. High-value clients who have had an excellent experience with their solar installation want their next service to meet or exceed their expectations as well. Your team should have consistent, high-quality training to deliver a seamless customer experience every time.
