Photovoltaic mounting system

OverviewOrientation and inclinationMountingShadePV FencingSound barriersSee also

Photovoltaic mounting systems (also called solar module racking) are used to fix solar panels on surfaces like roofs, building facades, or the ground. These mounting systems generally enable retrofitting of solar panels on roofs or as part of the structure of the building (called BIPV). As the relative costs of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules has dropped, the costs of the racks have become
