When we think about solar panels, the first thing that comes to our mind is to get it installed on our rooftop. Although it is the best option, you can also consider other places that receive maximum exposure to the sun for most part of the day. Even shade from a small object like a roof vent significantly decreases the final output. Also, try to keep the panel as close to the meter as possible, this will lower the amount of lost power from cabling. Although the solar panels are not really dangerous, they create high voltage and thus, should be installed at a place which is not a high traffic area.

If there is not a suitable place for the solar panel on your roof, then you can also go for ground mounting. You may also use a detached garage or a shed if it is quite close to your house. You should also make sure that there is enough room in your house for the huge solar panels, including their wiring, mounting and enough area surrounding it.
