What are the different types of solar panel mounting systems?

The main types of solar panel mounting systems are:

Roof-Mounted Systems: These are the most common and can be further divided into:

Flush Mounts: Panels are mounted parallel to the roof surface.

Tilt Mounts: Panels are mounted at an angle to optimize sunlight exposure.

Ground-Mounted Systems: Panels are installed on the ground using a frame or pole structure.

Pole-Mounted Systems: Panels are mounted on a single pole, which can be fixed or have a tracking system to follow the sun.

Ballasted Mounts: Typically used on flat roofs, these systems use weights to hold the panels in place without penetrating the roof.
