An effective mount system for solar panels serves as a complete structure that physically holds the panels in place while optimizing energy production and maintaining the required support of the structure. It includes everything from rails and brackets to clamps and anchors, meant for installation on roofs, grounds, or floats. Roof systems may use non-ballast methods or penetrating and non-penetrating ballast systems, while ground systems use posts, concrete, or screw-mounted bases. Other design factors to consider are the ability to bear wind or snow loads (IEC 61215 standards), corrosion levels of the materials, and the complexity of installation. Integration of single-axis trackers to more advanced systems increases energy yield by 20–30%. Compliance with local guidelines, panel warranties, and mount system regulations are also necessary to ensure the longevity of the PV performance in relation to the warranty provided.
