What’s the Best Solar Panel Mount For My Project 2023-04-28

Determine what kind of your project.

A solar panel mount (or solar racking system) is the foundation that holds your solar array in place.

Mounts are used to attach solar panels to the roof, ground, or another surface on your property. With proper installation, a sturdy mount secures your panels in harsh weather and protects your investment. Before choosing your mounting products, determine whether you’re doing ground mount or roof mount solar racking.


Roof mount

Roof mounts tend to be the least expensive way to mount your solar system because they take advantage of your existing roof structure to provide a foundation for your panels. This saves money in racking material and labor costs to complete the installation.


Ground mount

Fixed Ground Mounts

A standard ground mount uses a simple metal frame to support the weight of the rest of the system.The best way to secure a ground mount in place is to set the structure in a cement slab. If you choose to perform a DIY installation, you’ll likely need to rent equipment to dig footings and pour cement.

Determine how many solar panels you need.

You may think that the size of your house determines how many solar panels you need, but it doesn’t! To really understand how many solar panels your solar energy system needs, you need to determine the following: 

1.Your energy usage

2.Sunlight in your area

3.Panel wattage


The Solar Panel Mounts You Can Choose

After calculated the number of panels,you should choose the best solar panel mount to installation.

If your rooftop is flat, you can use tilt legs to face panels so that they are more perpendicular to the sun. Tilt legs simply lift the panels up to a fixed angle, so that they face directly into the sunlight.

Whereas most residential rooftops are sloped, flat roofs (or low slope roofs) are more common in a commercial setting. In these cases, tilt legs can be used to adjust the panels to the proper angle.


Recommended Flat Roof Mount :SFS-FR-02

SunRack SFS-FR-02 ballast mounting system adopts foldable triangular to save cost both on installation and transportation.It is a modular structure,which can be expanded from one module to any scale while maximizing the roof usage.Our professional engineer will propose the size and weight of ballast for the project you are involved.

Standard ground mounts are normally installed at a fixed angle and position, though there are adjustable options for certain applications.
