Components In A Residential Solar System

When exploring solar energy for your home, it’s helpful to understand the essential components of a residential system. At Belmont Solar, we proudly serve Delaware County with expert guidance and dependable service. Each system we install includes three key parts: the solar panels, the inverter, and the racking system that secures everything in place.

Solar Panels

Solar panels are the foundation of your system, capturing sunlight and converting it into electricity your home can use. Designed for both performance and durability, they provide steady energy output and are built to last for many years.

Inverters

Inverters are a key part of any solar system, converting the DC electricity produced by your panels into the AC power used throughout your home. Our high-efficiency inverters are built to optimize performance and integrate seamlessly with the rest of your solar equipment.

Racking System

The racking system is what holds your solar panels firmly in place and angles them for optimal sunlight exposure. This setup plays a crucial role in ensuring the system’s strength, reliability, and long-term efficiency. Learn more about how our Tough Trac racking system adds stability and support to your solar installation.

Solar Panel FAQ

The expected life of a home solar system can differ due to multiple factors. On average, it’s projected to last from 25 to 30 years. This approximation relies on how tough and efficient the solar panels are, as they are the central parts of the system.

Though solar panels primarily use sunlight to generate electricity, they are also capable of harnessing and converting scattered or reflected light into power. This means they can produce electricity even on overcast or snowy days. Nevertheless, their effectiveness might be lower than on bright, sunny days.

  • Sustainable energy solution: With sunlight being both abundant and continuous, solar energy stands out as one of the most dependable renewable resources available today.
  • Lower energy expenses: Generating electricity at home can significantly cut down your monthly power bills over time.
  • Eco-beneficial: Solar power is a clean energy source that doesn’t produce harmful emissions, making it environmentally friendly.
  • Extended durability: Designed for longevity, solar panels can deliver reliable performance for decades with proper upkeep.
  • Enhanced home value: Homes equipped with solar systems often see an increase in market value and buyer interest.

If a solar panel setup produces more power than what’s required right away, the extra energy can be supplied back to the power grid. Depending on where you live, this method is referred to as net metering or a feed-in tariff. The additional electricity is then credited to your account, helping to reduce the amount of electricity you’ll need to pay for in the future.

Installing solar panels typically requires a building permit, zoning approval, and sometimes other local authorizations. Since these regulations are usually set by your municipality rather than the county, it’s a good idea to contact your local office for specific requirements. You can also visit the Delaware County Planning Department’s page for additional details.

At Belmont Solar, we manage all aspects of the permitting process, ensuring everything is submitted properly so your project stays on track without any hassle.

Homeowners in Delaware County can benefit from Pennsylvania’s Solar Renewable Energy Certificate (SREC) program. This initiative rewards you with one credit for every 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) your solar system generates. These credits can be sold, offering an additional way to save or earn from your solar investment. Want to learn more? Take a look at our in-depth guide on how SRECs work in Pennsylvania.

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.
