There are many factors to take into account when considering whether to install a solar power system, whether it is a solar electric system, solar hot water system or any other system that uses solar energy as its power source. Some of the factors include space, annual usage, and benefits available to you for installing the system.
This video from Constellation Energy gives a good overview of what should be included in a checklist for a large-sized operation considering installing a solar power system:
Solar systems are also available for smaller commercial operations, as well as residential properties. Some of the same requirements still apply, such as a clear space not shaded by trees or other obstructions and sufficient installation space. But, requirements vary dependent on the type of system you wish to install, and many companies will work with you to determine solutions to incorporate a system into your space.
There are a number of local resources available to learn more about the benefits of solar systems and installation requirements including, Constellation Energy, Greenspring Energy, Solar Energy World, and Aztec Solar Power.
