What equipment do I need to go solar?

We'll break down everything you need to know about solar equipment to prepare you. You need solar panels, inverters, racking equipment, and performance monitoring equipment to go solar. You also might want an energy storage system (aka solar battery), especially if you live in an area that doesn't have net metering.

How much weight can a solar panel rack support?

The rack can also support a tremendous amount of weight, as it is rated to withstand a 60 pounds per square foot of weight beyond the weight of the solar panels. This is incredibly important for those that live in areas that receive significant snowfall.

Do you need a solar battery for a power outage?

If you want your solar panels to operate during a power outage, you need to pair them with a solar battery. Hybrid solar systems and off-grid systems both use solar energy storage. However, off-grid systems require more batteries because they don’t have the grid to fall back on like hybrid systems do.
