What is a solar panel mount?

A solar panel mount (or racking system) is the framework that holds your solar panels in place at the proper angle and orientation. In simple terms, it’s the foundation that secures solar panels either on your roof or on the ground. Mounts are usually made of sturdy materials like aluminum or steel, designed to last for decades outdoors.

What are solar mounts & how do they work?

Solar mounts are not just used to keep solar panels in place during windy conditions. They are designed to maximize the efficiency of the panels by keeping them oriented in just the right way to catch that direct beam of sunlight full on.

What is a solar panel ground mount?

Solar panel ground mounts are durable frames that mount directly into the ground on your property. This mount is designed to hold a specific number of solar panels, which depends on the frame. Many ground mounts are designed to hold the solar panels at a fixed angle all year round.

What are the different types of solar panel mounts?

There are various styles of mounts to suit different needs. Roof mounts attach panels to your roof structure, while solar panel ground mounts sit on the land, independent of any building. Ground-mounted systems are popular for homeowners who have open space and want more control over panel placement.

Do solar panels need mounts?

Solar panel mounts are a common component of almost every solar panel array. Although there are newer solar panel technologies coming out that do not require mounts, such as the Lumeta solar module that are being developed, the majority of solar panel arrays on the market and the ones already installed will require this feature.

Why do solar panel mounts matter?

Mounts are usually made of sturdy materials like aluminum or steel, designed to last for decades outdoors. They allow panels to be tilted toward the sun (often based on your latitude or seasons) to capture maximum sunlight and optimize energy production. Solar panel mounts matter because they directly affect your system’s performance and safety.
