Technical FAQs 4

Do solar panels add weight to a roof?

Load-Bearing Capacity: Solar panels and their mounting systems add weight to a roof. Building codes stipulate the maximum allowable weight that a roof can support, ensuring that the additional load from the solar panels does not compromise the structural integrity of the building.

What are the structural requirements for solar panels?

An essential aspect of the structural requirements for solar panels is the specification of minimum design loads. These ensure the solar panel mounting system will be able to withstand various stressors, such as wind, snow, and seismic activity.

How to install solar panels on a roof?

You need special mounts and flashing to keep water out and prevent leaks. Installing solar panels on a roof needs careful roof penetrations and attachments. This ensures the system works well for a long time and keeps the roof safe. Drilling holes or making changes to the roof is part of the job.

Do you need a roof check before installing solar panels?

A detailed roof check is needed before installing solar panels. Look at the roof’s structure, age, and condition. Fix any issues to ensure it can hold the solar system.
