Solar Array
A solar array is a group of solar panels wired together to function as one complete system. Instead of a single panel operating alone, multiple panels are connected and arranged in a layout designed to produce enough electricity to power your home.
When you see several panels installed across a roof or ground system, that entire grouped setup is called a solar array.
What Solar Array Means for Your Home
Why it matters
One solar panel alone usually cannot generate enough electricity to power an entire home. A solar array combines multiple panels so they work together as a unified system.
A solar array is designed based on:
Your home’s energy usage
Available roof or ground space
Roof direction and tilt
Shading conditions
Utility requirements
By grouping panels together, engineers can create a system that produces the amount of electricity needed to meaningfully reduce your utility bill.
How it affects savings
The size and placement of your solar array directly impact how much electricity your system can generate.
Several factors influence your solar array’s performance:
Number of panels installed
Panel wattage ratings
Roof direction and tilt
Shading exposure
Overall system design
A larger or more efficiently positioned array typically produces more energy (kWh), which can offset a greater portion of your electric bill.
Because savings are tied to production, proper array design is critical for long-term financial performance.
Where it shows up in the process
Consultation: Your Energy Consultant reviews your energy usage to estimate the appropriate array size.
Proposal Review: Your custom design shows panel placement and total system size (kW).
Installation: Installers mount and wire the panels together to form the complete solar array.
Activation: After inspection and utility approval, the array begins producing electricity.
Where You’ll See This in Your Solar Project
During system design, Soligo engineers determine how many panels are needed to build your solar array. Advanced modeling tools analyze roof layout, shading, and sunlight exposure to maximize production.
Once installed, the panels are wired together in specific configurations to optimize performance and meet electrical code requirements. After final inspection and Permission to Operate (PTO), your solar array begins generating clean energy for your home.
Soligo ensures your solar array is engineered for safety, efficiency, and long-term performance.
