Components In A Residential Solar System

Getting familiar with the essential parts of a residential solar system is an important step when exploring solar energy. At Belmont Solar, we proudly serve Annville with trusted expertise and reliable service. Each system we install features three critical elements: solar panels to harness energy, an inverter to convert it into electricity, and a durable mounting structure to keep everything firmly installed.

Solar Panels

Solar panels are the core of your system, turning sunlight into usable electricity for your home. Built for efficiency and longevity, they deliver reliable energy generation year after year.

Inverters

Inverters serve a vital role in your solar setup by changing the DC electricity produced by your panels into AC power that runs your household. Designed for seamless compatibility and high efficiency, our inverters ensure smooth energy conversion throughout your system.

Racking System

The mounting system acts as the structural base for your solar panels, keeping them securely fastened and positioned to capture the most sunlight possible. This design plays a key role in system durability. Our Tough Trac racking solution adds extra reinforcement for long-term reliability.

Solar Panel FAQ

Most solar panels are installed on rooftops using a rail-based mounting system that anchors securely to the home’s structure. Brackets are fastened into the roof rafters to provide strong support, while flashing is added around these points to keep moisture out. Once the rails are in place, the panels are mounted on top.

For details on how your system would be installed, reach out to a trusted solar installer in Annville.

In Annville, installing solar panels typically requires a building permit, electrical permit, and zoning approval. Belmont Solar handles all of the permitting for you, so you won’t have to navigate the process alone. If you’re curious about local regulations, take a look at Annville’s zoning ordinance—it outlines what types of projects need permits and which ones may be exempt. For additional details, you can also reach out to the Annville Planning Commission.

Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) are a type of environmental credit that reflects the renewable value of the solar electricity you produce. For every megawatt-hour (MWh) your system generates, you earn an SREC, which can then be sold or traded, offering a financial return for your clean energy production.

Absolutely! Homeowners in Annville, PA, have access to several valuable incentives for going solar, including:

  • Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs): Get rewarded for the solar power your system generates by earning credits you can sell for additional financial benefits.
  • Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC): Receive a tax credit covering 30% of your total solar installation expenses.
  • Net Metering: When your solar system generates excess electricity, you’ll earn credits on your utility bill for the unused power.

These incentives lower the overall cost of going solar and allow you to get the most value from your investment.

Yes, solar panels continue to operate during snowy and overcast weather, though their efficiency may be reduced in these conditions.

Light snow often melts or slides off the panels on its own, but heavier snow buildup might need to be removed to restore full output. Even with a thin layer of snow, some sunlight can still pass through, allowing the panels to generate a small amount of electricity.

Cloudy skies also allow diffused sunlight to reach the panels, meaning your system can still supply power—just at a lower level compared to clear, sunny days.

Annville receives approximately 4 to 4.5 peak sunlight hours daily, making it a strong candidate for solar energy production.

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.
