Orientation of a Small "Stand-alone" Solar System

Now that you have solar panels, there are a few tips to help you get the biggest bang for your buck; in other words; help you to produce optimum solar energy.

Your solar panels should be oriented geographically to maximize the amount of daily and seasonal solar energy that they receive. In general, the optimum orientation for a solar panels in the northern hemisphere is true south. However, your modules can face up to 45º east or west of true south without significantly decreasing its performance.

If you plan to mount the modules on your roof, you should also consider:

Roof orientation and condition
Local landscape features that shade the collector daily or seasonally
Local weather conditions (foggy mornings or cloudy afternoons) that may affect the optimal orientation and subsequent electricity production of the solar panels.

Regardless of where your solar panels are located, they must have the appropriate title to produce optimum solar energy. Although the optimal tilt angle for your solar panel is an angle equal to your latitude, fixing the solar panel flat is generally not a problem. However, the proper angle and latitude are important factors to produce optimum solar energy.

Currently, RISER PRODUCTS, is featuring three innovative products that is guaranteed to reduce utility bills; if used regularly; in the place of grid generated electricity. These innovative products are designed as off-grid “stand-alone” solar applications, but are compatible with other renewable energy generators (i.e. wind turbines).

Three major benefits of small stand-alone solar system

People who are shopping for a whole house solar system are aware of some of the restrictions and some of the expenses associated with installing a whole house solar system.

First, one possible restriction associated with installing a whole house solar is the Neighborhood Covenant. Many neighborhoods that are governed by a homeowners association (HOA) prohibit installation of whole house solar systems. Based on our research, there are a few HOA bylaws that allow residents to petition for approval to install a whole house solar system. In those rare situations the homeowner and the solar installation company must submit an application and the installation plans to solicit approval before they begin the installation project.

NOTE: Some state laws stipulate that homeowners have the right to install a whole house solar system on their home without approval from a HOA. For more information, see state and community codes and requirements for small renewable energy systems.

Second, two cost relative to a whole house solar system; that are not relative to a small stand-alone solar system [not including the different equipment e.g. hardware] are: (1) installation expenses and (2) cost for local permits.

Installation expenses are relative to a whole house solar system; but are not required for a small stand-alone solar system. Most homeowners seeking to install a whole house solar system must obtain permits from their city or county building department. These include a building permit, an electrical permit, or both. On the other hand, most small stand-alone solar systems are designed for do-it-yourself (DIY) projects and only require assembly; not a licensed electrician or a certified solar installer.

The cost for local permits is relative to a whole house solar system; but is not required for a small stand-alone solar system. Again, most DIY small stand-alone solar systems are designed to be mobile and portable; therefore, not local permits are required.

Currently, RISER PRODUCTS, is featuring the individual components of a “mobile” “portable” small stand-alone solar system. Combining these innovative individual components guarantee to reduce utility bills. These innovative accessories are designed as off-grid “stand-alone” solar applications, but are compatible with other renewable energy generators (i.e. wind turbines).

The Convenience of Riser Products – Portable Electricity Unit

In the summer of 2013, two industrious youth solicited to cut my yard for $20. This was a noble offer; however, they did not have tools or a lawnmower. When I inquired about their tools, they said, they would use my tools; that was the reason their quote was low; it accounted for the $20 owner tools discount.

A few months later in 2013, another set of industrious youth solicited to wash my car for $10. Again, this was a noble offer; however, they did not have tools or a water hose. When I inquired about their tools, they said, they would use my water and towels; that was the reason their quote was low; it accounted for the $10 owner tools discount.

This week, I was approached by a cleaning company to wash and clean my carpets for the low price of $20 per room. This was a professional company, so they had tools in their fully decorated utility van. However, similar to the kids who offer to cut my yard and wash my car (without tools), the professional carpet company expected to perform their duties using my utilities (electricity).

Most readers would not see anything wrong with a professional carpet cleaning company expecting to use the customer’s electricity to complete their paid service. That is because before now [before the innovative Riser Products] there was not an option; it was inconceivable for people to carry portable electricity systems to power their appliances and electronics.

The innovative Riser Products make it possible for consumers and businesses to manage their own portable electricity system. Currently, RISER PRODUCTS, is featuring innovative products that makes it possible for people to carry portable electricity systems to power their appliances, electronics, and electric vehicles. These innovative products are designed as off-grid solar applications, but are compatible with other renewable energy generators (i.e. wind turbines).
