How to build a parallel off-grid PV system?
1. A safe working platform with ladders to help protect the roof surface and spread the weight of the installer. Locating the Inverter/Battery Pack next to your planned wire entry area is advisable to keep the wiring length as short as possible.
2. Clamp the aluminum 'horizontal rails' while checking they are square before committing to the final clamp down with additional roofing-grade sealant around the fixing points. The best part of an installation is fixing each photovoltaic panel while connecting in series, routing, and securing the wiring with cable ties. A microfiber cloth is handy to wipe down as you go.
3. Run your wiring down to your Inverter's location and secure it to a wooden board for securing the electrical components and the battery's location.
