![]() ![]() Even if an expert won't be satisfied with the condition of the roof, you will be able to add additional support. Most of the time solar panels do not pose any threats to the roof, but to be absolutely sure and safe, it might be a good idea to invite a specialised engineer for a proper examination, especially if you are living in an old house. An average weight of a monocrystalline or polycrystalline panel is around 2.5-2.7 pounds per square feet. ![]() Attaching solar panels to walls is also an option, but it results in higher costs of installation and lesser efficiency.īefore installing solar panels, you have to make sure that your roof will be able to withstand their weight. This way of installation has its disadvantages: they get dirty quicker, they occupy space in your yard and oftentimes they are more affected by shadows of trees, bushes or buildings than those that are installed on the roof. In situations when a roof isn't an option, you can put your panels on the ground. In a good electrical system, miles of wire is used, this game needs the same approach if done right.The roof is the most preferable place to put your solar panels – after all, usually it doesn't serve for much else. ![]() Ofc if you put everything on a single red wire, yeah, ofc things go wrong, but just go look at a construction site, just watch how many miles of cable normally is used. I use 6 different groups, Light/Machines/Non-Essentionals/Control Units/Airlocks/Transport system and from there wires expand into my base.Ĭurrently pulling about 9.2 kW from my panels, and no need for transformers thusfar.Įverything before my APC units, is done with heavy cable, rest just 5k Cable, as i really have to go nuts to pull more as 5k on a group. Made a central room where my power comes in, this is then poured into several Large battery's that are placed in parrallel for increased capacity (not in line as this just doubles their power output.) and from there i go to several separated power groups. I just use the setup i would do as an electrician in real power distribution. ![]()
