PV modules are often paired with electricity from the grid, a wind generator or a fuel-powered generator. Hybrid systems are different from the standard grid-connected systems because they store excess energy in batteries, thereby insuring that electricity is accessible when utility power is unavailable. MOUNTING Photovoltaic arrays can be integrated into roofing materials, mounted on the roof, or mounted on the ground or a pole. Whatever the mounting, it should be made of a stable, durable structure that can support the array, and withstand wind, rain, hail, and other outdoor conditions. ��������������������������������������� ���������������������������������� Fact Sheet 6 • Page 2 . . . . . . more widely utilized in Utah.
