Rooftop solar installations are an efficient way to harness solar energy for residential or commercial buildings. Several factors need to be considered while selecting the appropriate configuration for the photovoltaic (PV) panels. These factors are all addressed in a solar site survey. The first thing to look at is the roof itself.
Honestly, you can’t just buy a stack of solar panels, toss them on a roof, and expect a smooth ride. That whole system—the panels, the racks, the wiring—has to be engineered to survive. I mean, it needs to be safe and built to last. The way you design and bolt them down completely changes depending on the site. Is it a sprawling commercial rooftop?
It all starts with structure. The roof becomes the backbone, and its strength is what makes or breaks the whole thing. The panels can''t do their job the way they''re supposed to without that strong base. The roof has a lot of work to do in any solar setup. The platform holds the panels up and keeps everything in place.
A structural engineer can take a look, check the condition of the existing structure, and tell you if reinforcements are needed to keep everything safe and secure once the panels go up. How much space is required between solar panels for proper mounting?
Our photovoltaic systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
