4 FAQs about Solar panel array design

Why is proper solar panel array layout important?

Proper solar panel array layout is crucial for maximizing energy generation in solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. This involves selecting the right components, such as high-quality solar panels and appropriate mounting systems.

What is a solar array?

A solar array is a collection of multiple solar panels that generate electricity. When an installer talks about solar arrays, they typically describe the solar panels themselves and how they're situated – aka the entire solar photovoltaic, or PV system. To create solar energy, sunlight must hit your panels' photovoltaic cells.

What is a PV array?

A PV array is the complete assembly of photovoltaic modules (solar panels) that work together to convert solar radiation into direct current (DC) electricity.

What is a photovoltaic array?

From residential rooftops to utility-scale solar farms, photovoltaic arrays offer scalable solutions for virtually any application. Success with PV arrays requires understanding the fundamental principles, careful system design, proper installation, and ongoing maintenance.
