Hand tools are available to assist the solar energy system owner to measure the power output of their system, and to make adjustments in the tilt and orientation of a solar module or array to maximize the energy production of their system.
Placement of a solar module or an array to capture the sun’s energy and transform it into direct current electricity, determining the suitability of a site as location for a solar module or an array, or measuring voltage and amperage are best accomplished with the right tools. These tools are easy to use and readily accessible.
