Installation of solar panels requires the use of special technological solutions for their mounting. Fixing systems must be selected in each individual case, according to certain operating conditions. Consider the main types of such structures and options for their use. Components of an assembly set Mostly solar panels for home use are installed on the roofs of houses. To ensure their fixation, the use of special structures and devices is required. The mounting system includes the following elements:     grounding clips and clamps;     profile. Aluminum structures are usually used. They are not subject to corrosion and are light, therefore do not demand special conditions of care and do not provide additional loading on a roof;     edge, middle clamps;     bolts and nuts. The number of components is calculated individually, taking into account the number of panels, the area of ​​their installation. If you are going to buy mounts for the installation of solar panels, it is important to

     Today, you can hear more and more about energy efficient homes. But are such structures suitable for our latitudes? Are they warm and will they withstand the January frosts, moisture or a thick ball of snow on the roof?
