Traditional Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Panels

Photovoltaic solar panels, commonly known as solar panels, are a sustainable and energy-efficient solution for harnessing solar power. When installing solar panels on a roof, several key steps are involved:

1. Assess Roof Suitability

2. Before installation, evaluate the roof’s condition and orientation. A south-facing roof with minimal shading is ideal for maximum sunlight exposure.

3. Prepare the Roof

4. Ensure the roof is structurally sound and can support the additional weight of solar panels. Any necessary repairs or reinforcements should be done beforehand.

5. Mounting the Solar Panels

6. Secure roof hooks to the truss or rafters. These hooks serve as the foundation for the mounting system. Next, install support rails that will hold the panels in place. The rails provide stability and prevent damage to the roof.

7. Wiring and Connection

8. Connect the solar panels to an inverter, which converts the direct current (DC) generated by the panels into usable alternating current (AC). The inverter is then connected to the electrical system of the building.

Proper installation ensures optimal energy production and longevity of the solar panel system.

It’s essential to work with experienced professionals who understand the nuances of handling solar panels during roof replacement or installation
