Components In A Residential Solar System


Understanding the fundamentals of a residential solar system can help you make an informed decision for your solar setup. At Belmont Solar, we take pride in providing homeowners in East York, PA with expert guidance and premium solar installations. Every system we install features three essential components: high-efficiency solar panels that capture sunlight, an inverter that converts solar energy into usable electricity, and a sturdy mounting system designed to secure your panels in the optimal position for maximum sun exposure.

Solar Panels

Your solar panels are the powerhouse of your system, transforming sunlight into usable energy for your home. Engineered for durability and efficiency, these panels deliver consistent electrical output year after year while requiring minimal maintenance. They’re designed to withstand various weather conditions while continuously generating the energy you need.

Inverters

Your inverter serves as essential component in your solar system, converting the direct current (DC) produced by your panels into alternating current (AC) that powers your home. Designed for durability and smooth operation, our inverters ensure efficient energy conversion and reliable system performance throughout the life of your installation.

Racking System

Your solar racking system provides the structural base that holds each panel securely in place, aligning them to capture the most sunlight possible. This essential component ensures your system remains steady and efficient year after year. Explore how our Tough Trac mounting solution enhances long-term strength and reliability for your solar installation.

Solar Panel FAQ

Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity through photovoltaic (PV) cells. Once our installers attach the mountings to your roof and then install the panels, they will start generating energy that can be used to power your home, sent back into the grid, or stored in batteries for later use. The layout and placement of the panels will depend on your roof size, direction, slope, etc.

Solar panels can still capture and convert indirect sunlight into electricity. So even on cloudy or snowy days, solar panels are still able to generate power, however they are significantly less efficient than on clear, sunny days.

No! Solar panels do not have any health risks for humans or animals. Solar systems do emit a tiny bit of electric field radiation since they are direct current (DC) systems, however they do not give off radiation to the extent that it is dangerous.

No, the government doesn’t provide free solar panels. However, there are many different incentives and programs that significantly reduce the cost of installing solar. These include various federal, state and local incentives that are offered across the country. To find out what incentives exist in East York, contact us today!

Before starting your solar installation in East York, PA, you’ll need to obtain the appropriate permits, such as building or zoning approvals. For specific requirements in your area, Springettsburg Township, (East York is located within Springettsburg Township) can also be a helpful resource.

At Belmont Solar, we handle the entire permitting process on your behalf—submitting the required paperwork and coordinating with local authorities so your project progresses smoothly from start to finish.

If you own a home in East York, PA, you may be eligible to participate in Pennsylvania’s Solar Renewable Energy Certificate (SREC) program. This initiative lets you earn one SREC for every 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) your solar system generates. These certificates can then be sold, offering a way to earn extra income from your solar energy production. It’s a smart incentive that can help offset the cost of your system over time.

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.
