Solar Panel Stand

What is Solar Panel Stand?

Solar panel stands also known as Mounting Structure, Solar Panel Holding Stands, Panel Stand, and Solar Structure.

It is generally seen people focus more on buying solar panel rather than the solar panel stand, since solar panel is the most integral part of a solar system and also accounts for the majority of the overall cost. A solar panel generally comes with a 25-year warranty. The solar inverter which is another critical component of a solar system generally comes with a 5-7 years of warranty. A few leading solar inverter companies like Enphase Energy and SolarEdge give a 25-year warranty. Now, the O&M contract is generally for 5 years in India. As such, the installer looks for components that can support panels and inverters for at least 5 years. They generally buy solar stands from local market to save their cost and also honour their commitment. However, installers should be careful and use quality material solar stands because solar stand ultimately supports the entire solar system. A solar panel stand should account for 30% of the overall system cost.

Loom Solar, being a professional solar company has now started manufacturing quality solar panel stands at competitive prices and having the required qualities to support your solar system for 25 years.

Types of Solar Panel Stand

On the basis of consumers demands, Solar panel stands can be categorized into:

1. Rooftop - Solar panel stands for installation on the rooftops of your homes/ offices. This is the preferred choice for establishments which are owned by a customer. This is for RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) roof.

2. Wall Mounted - In case of a rented apartment, tenants can opt for wall mounted solar stands. We have installed this structure recently in Gurgaon. The installation space should be North-West front of the road. For tenants, who do not have spare places like rooftop or ground space area, is it possible to install a solar system? Our answer is Yes, it is possible through Loom Solar’s Wall Mounted Mounting structure. The installation of wall mounted is little difficult than rooftop installation, but do not worry. Loom Solar’s expert installation team is well equipped for site survey and give appropriate solutions to the consumers.

3. Factory Tin Shed - Solar panel stands for a tin shed on top of mills/ factories. This is low-height solar panel stands as well as light weight. Loom Solar has installed approximately 50 solar products on Tin Shed in the states of Maharashtra and West Bengal

• Adjustable Angle (10-30 degree): Loom Solar panel stands come with holes which can be adjusted according to angles, thus giving the desired output. One important thing to keep in mind while installing solar panels is the tilt angle. The Solar panel tilt angle is the angle between the horizontal ground and the solar module, which is decided according to the latitude of your location. This tilt angle when equals to the latitude of your location generates the maximum energy output. To know the latitude angle of your location, simply search latitude angle of your state on Google. Now get your panels fixed on the solar panel stand at that particular angle to get the maximum output. Customers from the southern and western regions are more particular about this angle.

How to Select Solar Panel Stand?

It depends on installation space.

Option 1: If the consumers have roof space which is 100% shadow free area, our recommendation is to choose Rooftop Solar Panel Stand.

Option 2: If the consumers have no roof space or ground space, then our recommendation is to choose Wall Mounted Solar Panel Stand.

Option 3: If the consumers have Tin Shed Roof space, then our recommendation is to choose Tin Shade Solar Panel Stand. 

Normally, the installation space requirement of 1kW solar system is 100 sq. meters, so the consumer is always concerned about installation space, installation direction (South-West), installation design (Horizontal/Vertical) shadow area, wiring connectivity, and etc. We, therefore, recommend consumers to call any solar installation company for site survey who can provide them expert guidance for buying the complete solar system.
