Considerations for Installing Photovoltaic Power Systems

Photovoltaic systems can be installed in most areas as long as there is enough sunlight. Specifically, the following are some considerations for installing photovoltaics:

Solar irradiation: Photovoltaic systems require sufficient sunlight to generate electricity, so the solar irradiation conditions at the installation site are crucial. Generally, areas with ample, unobstructed sunlight are more suitable for installing photovoltaic systems.

Climate conditions: While photovoltaic panels can operate in various climate conditions, extreme weather conditions such as strong winds, hail, etc., may affect the system's stability and lifespan. Therefore, local climate characteristics should be considered when selecting the installation site.

Roof structure: For residential photovoltaic systems, rooftops are a common installation location. However, different roof structures (such as slope, load-bearing capacity, etc.) may affect the installation method and quantity of photovoltaic panels. Prior to installation, an assessment of the roof structure is necessary to ensure it can support the weight and wind pressure of the panels.

Policy environment: Governments in different regions have varying support policies for photovoltaic power generation, including subsidy policies, grid connection policies, etc. When selecting the installation site, consideration should be given to the local government's policy environment to obtain more economic support and favorable conditions.

Grid connection: Photovoltaic systems need to connect the generated electricity to the grid for sale or self-use. When choosing the installation site, the grid connection conditions and capacity limits of the local electricity grid need to be considered.

Land use planning: For large-scale photovoltaic projects, land use planning issues need to be considered. Generally, photovoltaic projects require a considerable land area and must comply with local land use planning requirements.
