The Sun By The Numbers

Brush waterproof asphalt on the bottom of the photovoltaic bracket

Geocel Sealant is recommended for use with TileTrac®, FastJack®, and SolarWedge® PV solar module mounting system installations and structural attachments. [PDF Version]

Install the gutter at the front of the roof photovoltaic panel

Watch how we install a PV mounting system's water gutter — step by step! Rainwater management is crucial for rooftop solar installations, especially for BIPV and metal roof projects. [PDF Version]

Integral connection of the bottom of the photovoltaic bracket

This paper presents a methodology for estimating the optimal distribution of photovoltaic modules with a fixed tilt angle in a photovoltaic plant using a packing algorithm (in Mathematica™ software) that maximizes the amount of energy absorbed by the photovoltaic plant. [PDF Version]

What is the name of the solar panel

Solar panels are also known as “photovoltaic” or PV panels by scientists, as they convert particles of energy called “photons” from the sun into usable electricity. [PDF Version]
