A solar panel stand is a product that ensures optimal solar panel performance by supporting and enabling the freestanding solar panel to be tweaked for an optimal tilt based on the time of day, the season, or latitude. In short, solar panel stands should always ensure that a standalone solar power system can absorb the maximum amount of solar energy in a day.
The types of solar panel stand
There emerge multiple solar panel stand designs to meet various requirements of varying standalone solar panel systems. The commonly used rooftop solar panel stands are the preferred choice for both standalone solar panels for homes and for offices. It should be noted that the rooftop stand is only recommended for reinforced cement concrete roofs. Besides that, ground-mounted solar panel stands are suitable for multiple solar panels. The installation of this type of solar panel stand is risk-free, and no roof penetration is necessary. Nevertheless, more room is required to accommodate it. For solar panels in rental apartments, wall-mounted solar panel stands serve better. Such solar panel stands allow users to fully utilize solar panels without taking up much space on the roof or on the ground. Moreover, there are two types of pole-mounted solar panel stands. Top-of-pole mounted stands anchor the solar panels on poles. This structure is installed on the pole preventing dirt, snow, or leaves from building up on the surface. Side-of-pole mounted stands feature the support placed on the side of the pole. This kind of solar panel stand is a better option in places where remote solar lighting systems are used.
The tips for choosing the right solar panel stand
To ensure that the stands withstand extreme weather conditions and do not rust easily, the finishing of them must involve a rust-proof coating. The solar panel stands are made from galvanized iron, which has a shelf life of 25 years and should be considered first. In recent years, PVC solar panel stands have witnessed a sharp rise in popularity as they are highly rust-resistant and lightweight. Also, the solar panel stand chosen must be adaptable to a variety of solar panel brands. Furthermore, the space reserved for the stand matters too. If there is insufficient space on the roof, it is recommended to choose a wall-mounted stand. It's worth mentioning that in search of a solar panel stand for camping, movable and folding solar panel stands should be considered.
