Components In A Residential Solar System

Learning how a residential solar system functions begins with recognizing its core parts. At Belmont Solar, we’re dedicated to helping homeowners in Jarrettsville with trusted service and professional installation. Every system we build includes three important pieces: solar panels that gather sunlight, an inverter that transforms that energy into power your home can use, and a sturdy mounting system that keeps everything properly secured.

Solar Panels

Solar panels are an essential component of your home’s solar system, collecting sunlight and turning it into usable electricity. Built for efficiency and made to last, they deliver a steady supply of clean energy that powers your home reliably over time.

Inverters

Inverters are a crucial part of any solar power system, changing the direct current from your panels into alternating current that powers your household devices. Designed for reliable operation and optimized energy use, they ensure your system delivers steady electricity and runs smoothly.

Racking System

The mounting system forms the foundation of your solar panel installation, holding each panel firmly in place and positioning them to collect as much sunlight as possible throughout the day. A well-built and carefully installed racking system is important for maintaining strong performance and consistent energy production. At Belmont Solar, we rely on the Tough Trac racking solution, known for its durability and lasting dependability.

Solar Panel FAQ

Most residential solar systems last between 25 to 30 years, depending on various factors. Many manufacturers also offer warranties that guarantee at least 90% efficiency for up to 25 years, giving you extra peace of mind.

If you are planning to install solar panels on your property in Jarrettsville, you will usually need permits for construction, electrical systems, and zoning compliance. Belmont Solar handles every part of the permitting process for you, including preparing documentation and working directly with local offices. To get the most up-to-date information on requirements, you can also visit Harford County’s permit page.

Solar Renewable Energy Credits, also known as SRECs, are certificates that track the amount of clean electricity your solar system generates. For every 1,000 kilowatt-hours your system produces, you receive one SREC. These credits can be traded or sold, giving you an additional way to benefit financially from your solar energy system.

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

Environmentally Friendly: Solar energy is clean and produces no greenhouse gas emissions, making it an environmentally friendly power source.
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, harnessing the sun’s endless energy to provide a sustainable source of electricity.
Long-Lasting: With regular maintenance, your solar panels can provide reliable performance for many years to come.
Reduced Energy Costs: Generating your own electricity can lead to significant savings on your monthly energy bills.

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

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.

Absolutely a+

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.
