Integrated Flat Roof Solar Panels

Compared to traditional rack mounted solar systems our roof integrated solar panels have superior water shedding qualities.

Integrated flat roof solar panels.

Power and precision solar from gaf energy is designed to be direct to deck. Only top manufacturers give warranties on panels installed at an angle of fewer than two degrees. Solar panels that have been mounted on flat roofs should usually be titled upwards to ensure that they capture as much sunlight as possible throughout the day. This allows the solar panels to get the optimal amount of sunlight thereby providing you with the best in energy efficiency.

But it is important to understand some key factors involved with flat roof solar panel installation. When installing solar panels on your flat roof the resulting product can be tilted or not. The system has the advantage that it fits with most of solar pv panels available on the market. Integrated solar panels are designed to be weatherproofed and to be as strong as normal roof tiles but also include the photovoltaic cells to generate electricity for your home.

Ib solarwise roofing is a revolutionary product combining permanent flat roofing and renewable energy in one easy to install leaks proof flat roofing solution for environment and money conscious home and business owners and has a pay off period of under 5 years while industry standard is 7 10 years or more. Solar panel tilt angle. Solar roofing is a final product which integrates solar panels with the roofing material suitable for either a sloped or a flat roof. Most popular solar pv laminates commercially used today are the unisolar thin film pv panels.

Ib solarwise utilizes thin film laminate solar pv modules produced by uni solar. Introduction to roof integrated solar panels in roof solar panels are very similar to on roof panels the only real differences being that with in roof solar panels the panels serve a dual purpose acting both as the roof covering and as generators of electricity. Most solar systems are installed on a roof of a house or a building. Although sometimes referred to as solar roof tiles integrated solar panels are not designed to look like roof tiles or slates and generally aren t a complete roofing solution.

Although most roof mounted solar systems are installed on top of an existing roof be it an asphalt shingles roof or any type of flat roof these solar systems are not integrated into the roofing material and therefore are not solar roofs. Tiles are not required under an in roof system. In fact flat roofs are the preferred type of roof for installing solar panels. This also helps to keep each of the panels clean as the rain will wash away dirt and debris from the surface keeping efficiency levels on top.

An optimum tilt angle and orientation of your solar panels on a flat roof will ensure top energy production performance of your system.
