1. Roof Mounts

Roof-mounted systems are the most common for residential solar installations. They are designed to attach solar panels directly to the roof structure. There are two main subtypes:

  • Flush Mounts: Sit flat against the roof for a low-profile look.

  • Tilted Mounts: Allow for an angled setup to maximize sun exposure.

Pros:
✔ Space-efficient
✔ Lower installation costs compared to ground mounts

Cons:
✖ Roof condition must be stable
✖ May require roof penetrations

2. Ground Mounts

Ground-mounted solar systems are installed on open land rather than rooftops. They are ideal for large-scale solar farms or homeowners with ample yard space.

Pros:
✔ Easier maintenance access
✔ Adjustable tilt angles for better efficiency

Cons:
✖ Requires significant land space
✖ Higher installation costs
