Components In A Residential Solar System

Understanding the basic components of a residential solar system is a key step when considering solar for your home. As a dependable solar installer serving Cornwall, we focus on providing straightforward support and top-tier service. Our systems are built using three main parts: efficient solar panels, an inverter to transform the energy, and a sturdy racking system to ensure everything stays securely in place and properly positioned.

Solar Panels

Solar panels are the heart of your system, capturing sunlight and converting it into electrical power your home can use. Engineered for long-term reliability and strong performance, they consistently generate energy year after year.

Inverters

Inverters are a crucial part of your solar system, responsible for converting the DC electricity generated by your panels into AC power that runs your household. Our inverters are built to maximize efficiency and integrate smoothly with the rest of your setup for reliable performance.

Racking System

The racking system holds your solar panels firmly in place and angles them for optimal sun exposure, helping maximize energy production. This support structure is essential for keeping your system stable and performing well over time. See how our Tough Trac mounting system enhances the durability and reliability of your solar installation.

Solar Panel FAQ

A home solar system typically lasts 25 to 30 years, depending on various factors. Most manufacturers guarantee that solar panels will retain at least 90% efficiency for the first 25 years, ensuring long-term energy savings.

Solar panels work best with direct sunlight, but they can still generate power from diffuse and indirect light. This means they continue producing electricity even on cloudy or snowy days, though at a lower efficiency compared to clear, sunny conditions.

Reliable Renewable Energy: Solar power taps into the sun’s unlimited energy, providing a sustainable and dependable source of electricity for years to come.
Lower Monthly Bills: Generating your own electricity helps cut energy costs, allowing you to save money while reducing reliance on the power grid.
Environmentally Friendly: Solar energy produces zero emissions, making it a clean and eco-conscious choice that supports a healthier planet.
Built to Last: With minimal maintenance, solar panels continue producing energy efficiently for decades, delivering long-term value and savings.
Increased Home Value: Homes with solar systems typically see a rise in property value up to 4.1%, making solar a smart investment for the future.

When your solar panels produce more electricity than you use, the extra energy flows back into the grid. This process, called net metering or a feed-in tariff (depending on your location), earns you credits on your utility bill, helping to lower future energy costs.

Before starting a solar installation, it’s often necessary to obtain a building permit, zoning approval, or sometimes both. Depending on where you live, other permits may also be required. These rules are typically set by your local municipality rather than the county, so it’s a good idea to check with your local office. Cornwall’s Code of Ordinances is another helpful resource for understanding specific requirements.

At Belmont Solar, we take care of all the permitting on your behalf, ensuring every detail is handled properly so you don’t have to deal with the paperwork yourself.

If you’re a homeowner in Cornwall, you can benefit from Pennsylvania’s Solar Renewable Energy Certificate (SREC) program. For every 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) your solar system generates, you earn an SREC—these credits can then be sold, providing you with extra income for your clean energy production. Want to understand the ins and outs of this program? Take a look at our detailed guide to learn more.

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.
