Components In A Residential Solar System

Understanding the key parts of a home solar system is an essential step when considering the move to solar energy. At Belmont Solar, we’re proud to offer expert installation and dependable service to homeowners in Belcamp. Every solar system we build features three essential components: high-efficiency panels that capture sunlight, an inverter that changes that energy into usable electricity, and a strong mounting structure that keeps the entire system stable and operating at peak performance for years to come.

Solar Panels

Solar panels form the backbone of your solar energy system, capturing sunlight and converting it into electrical power for everyday household use. Engineered for long-lasting performance and high efficiency, they provide steady, reliable energy output year after year.

Inverters

Inverters are a key component of your solar setup, converting the direct current (DC) produced by your solar panels into alternating current (AC)—the type of electricity used by your home. Built for reliability and seamless integration, these devices help maintain consistent energy flow and optimize the overall performance of your system.

Racking System

The racking system acts as the structural framework for your solar panels, securing them in place and orienting them to absorb the most sunlight throughout the day. Its design plays a critical role in the longevity and effectiveness of your solar setup. At Belmont Solar, we use the Tough Trac mounting system—engineered for strength and stability—to ensure your array remains secure and efficient, no matter the weather conditions.

Solar Panel FAQ

Most residential solar systems typically last 25 to 30 years, depending on several factors. Many manufacturers also provide warranties that ensure at least 90% efficiency for up to 25 years, offering you added peace of mind.

Definitely! While solar panels perform best in direct sunlight, they can still produce electricity from diffuse and indirect light. This means you’ll continue to generate power on overcast or snowy days, although the output may be reduced compared to sunny conditions.

  • Environmentally Friendly: Solar energy is clean and generates no greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Increased Property Value: Homes with solar panels often see a property value increase of about 4.1%.
  • Renewable Energy Source: Solar power is abundant and renewable, capturing the sun’s limitless energy.
  • Long-Lasting: With proper maintenance, your solar panels can deliver dependable performance for many years.
  • Reduced Energy Costs: Generating your own electricity can result in substantial savings on your monthly energy bills.

If your solar system generates more electricity than you consume, the excess can be sent back to the grid. This process, called net metering or a feed-in tariff, lets you earn credits that can reduce your future electricity bills. We’re here to help you make the most of solar energy—let’s get started!

Installing a solar system in Belcamp usually involves obtaining permits related to construction, electrical work, and zoning compliance. At Belmont Solar, we handle all aspects of the permitting process on your behalf—from completing the necessary paperwork to working directly with local authorities—making the experience smooth and stress-free. For the most current guidelines, you may also want to check with Harford County’s Building Services Division.

Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs) represent the environmental benefits of the electricity your solar system produces. For every 1,000 kilowatt-hours (or 1 megawatt-hour) of solar energy generated, you earn one SREC. These credits can be sold on the market, providing an additional source of income and boosting the financial value of your solar investment.

What our customers say

I used Belmont for my rooftop solar project and they were great! They were quick to get me a proposal when I first reached out, happy to modify it to suit my needs, offered experienced input and recommendations, and provided a complimentary site visit to go over the specifics and finalize the details before any commitments were made. The installation happened faster than expected and their entire team was responsive to all my questions along the way. The combination of value and service is outstanding! Highly recommend!

Nicholas Piro

Belmont Solar is a great company to work with. They were much cheaper than one of the large solar companies and actually sent an engineer out to help scope out the system. Our install was not the usual setup because we wanted a battery and already had a generator. They got it all installed and it works great. I really enjoyed the whole process. Highly recommended!

James Rumbaugh

Belmont Solar estimated all costs accurately, and including them in their contract with me, for a ground mounted 22 KW solar system installed at my residence. The installation went smoothly. February 15th 2023 was the one year anniversary of the Solar Panels being placed on line by my utility company. In the first 12 months the panels produced 28.8 megawatts of power. All payback calculations presented by Belmont were based on an annual production of 27 megawatts of power. I believe they are reliable and trustworthy.

George Metzler

I’m very happy with my choice to use Belmont Solar for my solar project. I found Ben Zook to be straight-forward and knowledgeable and the installers to be professional and personable.

I talked to three solar firms before deciding to go with Belmont. I ruled out the first firm when I noticed a contentious clause in the fine print of their contract. In final discussions, the third firm promised to get me up and running fast while Belmont promised to do a very neat job. I think this is the reason I ultimately decided to go with Belmont.

During the project, Ben Zook went above and beyond to fix a financing mistake that was clearly my fault and the installers offered to spend extra time in my hot and uncomfortable attic to make the final system look great. The system was finished in a timely fashion, looks awesome and performs as expected. Belmont exceeded my expectations on multiple occasions, which is why I’ve published this review and why I’m recommending them to my father for a ground mount system in the near future.

Although I decided not to install solar at this time, I found Ben to be both knowledgeable and especially honest. His 15+ years of hands-on experience provide him with a wealth of insight.

Mike Heaney

I interviewed several national solar companies looking for the best way to affordably install solar on my house. One told me to remove eleven trees, then they might consider looking at my house. Another offered to share fifteen dollars a month of the savings, if I paid one hundred a month for the privilege. Huh???

Finally a friend suggested Belmont Solar. My first call to Ben Zook put me totally at ease, there was no pressure but much professionalism and incredible knowledge. He quoted me not one or two options, but four. Contrary to one review here, he understood my budget and respected it without a second thought. He is a man of great integrity, you will find out for yourself. I can’t help but laugh at the negative reviews below. He “threatened” me too, why, he even showed up in my yard personally to resolve an unforeseen issue, at no charge. Such a ‘troublemaker’, LOL. He’s a very kind and honest man, period.

Long story short, Isaac and Jonathon came from Belmont for the installation, were perfect gentlemen and extremely helpful and clearly very skilled, and a year later I already have forty percent of my investment back in my bank account. It pays back that fast! I’m already saving my dollars to make my system bigger and would not dream of anyone but Ben and the Belmont team…. and I’m in New England!

Go with the best, Belmont Solar, and trust me when I say it’s smart to go solar. You won’t regret it, I sure don’t. You can totally trust Ben and his team, I’ll never have it any other way. I’m Bill Dudley, Foxboro, Mass., and I give you my word.
