Standard pv solar panels are rectangular, up to 4 feet long and 2 feet wide, and has an aluminum frame around it a few inches thick. Each frame is then bolted to a larger frame to make an impressive display. This then can be mounted to piers in the ground, to a south facing deck or firmly mounted to a roof by mounting brackets. Before installing your panels there are some considerations for their exact location, like where the most sunshine is, the pitch of the roof, the way the house faces, or if you want to hide the solar panels. If your roof is metal you can use solar laminates with a minimum of 16 inches between seams, they are flexible peel-and-stick panels and less than a quarter-inch thick and designed to stick to your metal roof, and best of all you don't need any framing or mounting hardware, To connect between panels you would use connectors. Solar panels can be installed on shingled roofs as well and require you to install waterproof underlayment beneath the solar shingles.
