FAQs: Solar Accessory Essentials

Do I need different equipment for ground vs roof mounts?

Absolutely. Ground systems require more robust anti-corrosion treatment, while rooftop solutions need weight distribution engineering.

How often should monitoring systems update?

Modern systems offer real-time tracking, but most users find 15-minute intervals sufficient for performance analysis.

Can I mix equipment from different manufacturers?

Possible but risky. Compatibility issues can reduce efficiency by 12-18%. Always consult integration specialists first.
