Furthermore, since mounting and racking systems are somewhat hidden, most people aren\u2019t overly concerned about them. \u00a0In fact, since they are not the \u2018money maker\u2019 or \u2018energy producer\u2019 racking and mounting systems do not get glorified or researched as solar panels do. Our experience as a commercial and residential solar installation company is that the racking and mounting systems are just as important if not more than the panels reflecting light off the roof are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C3G1ZyfVWEw?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>Products for All Roof Types<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each roof demands a different strategy for solar panel installation. \u00a0What works best for a composite roof might not be the best solution for a concrete tile roof. \u00a0One determining factor to ask your solar installation company is how they dictate what product and how your panels are installed. \u00a0Mounting systems are unique to your roof. Products are designed specifically for composition\/asphalt shingle roofs, tile roofs, Shake and Slate roods and roofs with a low slope. \u00a0Even within each style of roof, recognizing if the roof is new or retrofitted determines what product is the correct mounting system for your panel installation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B8JGvUw8SLM?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>Superior Waterproofing<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When solar panels are installed on your roof, you are literally allowing your solar installation company to drill holes into your roof. \u00a0This means that ensuring the correct mounting system is vital to avoid leaks in your roof. QuickMount is one of our core providers of mounting products. \u00a0This is important because QuickMount PV technology was founded on the principle of using state of the art technology that makes roof-mounted solar 100% waterproof. \u00a0This included elevated water seal technology for each mounting system they design.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WulLAWsM-dc?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><b>Training for Fast and Simple Installation<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Incorrect installation of a solar panel array is often connected to lack of training or education of an installation crew.\u00a0 We believe in continuous and continuing education. Additionally, we work closely with QuickMount PV as they are a recognized pioneer of roofing best practices in the industry. \u00a0Their extensive training programs are all made available, accessible and often mandatory to our installation crews. This means teams are at the forefront of knowledge and training experience, which leads to installs that follow Best Practices for the leader in the industry. \u00a0Additionally, outside of formal training, online webinars and video tutorials are always available and accessible. These tools are powerful areas of solar intelligence and training across the board.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Why It Is Important to Ask Questions <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poor roof racking and mounting systems can negatively impact the production and value of your solar system. \u00a0When a mounting system is not installed correctly, or a mounting system of inferior quality, is attached to your roof, the risk of problems increases. \u00a0Additionally, incorrectly installed mounting and racking systems leads to leaks in the roofs and a myriad of potential safety issues. As you collect quotes, ask direct questions about the mounting and racking systems that will be used on your solar installation. \u00a0If you are told \u201cAll mounting systems are the same,\u201d it is recommended you continue to get company quotes that answer to the quality and safety expectations you have of your solar system. Asking too many questions early on is a way to eliminate problems further down the lane. \u00a0Since solar panels are designed to last for at least 25 years, be confident the mounting and tracking systems they are hanging from are of equitable quality. Remember, your panels are only as good as they system they are mounted on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you continue to have questions regarding mounting and racking systems for solar panels, we invite you to reach out an email, call, or stop by our Solar Showroom located in the Historic Downtown Brentwood corridor. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you are doing research about Solar Companies, don&#8217;t forget to ask them <a href=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/top-questions-you-should-ask-any-solar-company\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">these very important questions.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How does Solar Panel Mounting Get Installed?
