Every Part of a Home Solar System
Six parts take sunlight from the roof to your outlets. Tap one to zoom in and see where the power goes next.

The whole path
Roof to wall to outlet.
Panels make direct current on the roof. It runs down to the inverter, which makes household power. The meter counts what flows to and from the grid, and an optional battery holds some back for the evening or an outage.

Quick roof check
Which Way Does Your Roof Face?
Tap a side of the roof and watch the sun cross it. That is most of what decides how much sun your panels see.
South: the sweet spot.
Over Florida the sun crosses the southern sky all year, so a south-facing roof catches the most of it, from mid-morning to late afternoon.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can my HOA stop me from putting solar on my roof?
- Florida law generally limits a homeowners association's ability to prohibit solar collectors on a home. An association may still have a say in where equipment is placed, within limits, and review or approval steps are common. Requirements vary by community, so review your association documents and confirm the process with your HOA. Nova Structa does not provide legal advice.
- What happens to solar panels in a hurricane?
- Solar equipment installed in Florida is engineered and permitted to the wind-load requirements of the Florida Building Code for its location, and coastal and High Velocity Hurricane Zone areas carry stricter requirements than inland ones. No product can be guaranteed to survive every storm. Wind ratings, permitting, and any applicable warranty terms are identified in the manufacturer documentation and the written project documents.
- Will I end up with two bills instead of one?
- Most solar customers continue to receive a bill from their utility, and if the system is financed there is also a payment for the system. Whether the combined total is higher or lower than the current bill depends on usage, system size, financing terms, utility rates, and program rules. Savings are not guaranteed. Your assessment should show both numbers side by side before you sign anything.
- Will solar put a lien on my home or affect my credit?
- It depends entirely on the structure you choose. Financing is provided by third-party providers and is subject to credit approval; some structures involve a filing against the property and some do not. Any security interest or filing, along with rates, terms, fees, and total cost, is disclosed in the financing agreement. Read that document before signing and ask the provider directly what is filed and where.
- I just replaced my roof. Will solar mess it up?
- A new roof is usually the best condition to start from, because roof age is the most common reason a project needs work first. On a standing seam metal roof the mounting hardware clamps to the seam and the panel is never drilled. On shingle and most other roof types, mounts penetrate the deck and are flashed and sealed as part of the installation. Review the written warranty documents for how your roof warranty treats it.
- Should I wait for better solar technology?
- Panel efficiency has improved gradually rather than in jumps, and waiting also means continuing to pay a utility bill in the meantime. Whether waiting makes sense depends on your roof condition, your usage, financing terms, and utility rules, not on the technology alone. There is no answer here that is right for every home.
