Flat Roof Solar Installations: Benefits and Challenges

Introduction

Flat roofs offer unique opportunities for solar installations, especially for commercial properties. Here’s how Genergy optimizes flat roof solar setups.

Benefits of Flat Roof Solar Systems

  1. Flexible Panel Placement: Panels can be angled for maximum sunlight exposure.

  2. Efficient Use of Space: Flat roofs often have large, unobstructed areas perfect for solar installations.

  3. Lower Installation Costs: Ground-mount systems aren’t needed, reducing costs.

Challenges and Solutions

  1. Shading Issues:

    • Solution: Proper panel spacing and tilt adjustments minimize shading.

  2. Water Drainage:

    • Solution: Panels are installed with raised mounts to prevent water pooling underneath.

  3. Wind Resistance:

    • Solution: Ballasted systems ensure panels remain stable without penetrating the roof.
