2023-11-09 14:28

Solar roof installation issues include the following:

 

Roof loading capacity


Before installing photovoltaic roof tiles, it is necessary to know the load-bearing capacity of the roof, including the structure, materials and design loads of the roof. If the load-bearing capacity of the roof is insufficient and you need to reinforce it or choose lightweight photovoltaic modules, then sgbsolar's T MAX L-metal photovoltaic roof tiles, weighing only 6.5 kg each, are the perfect choice for you.

 


Roofing materials


It should be noted that photovoltaic roof tiles are only suitable for concrete roofs and cannot be installed on other roofs such as tile or metal roofs.

 


Roof inclination


The efficiency of photovoltaic roof tiles is related to the angle of inclination, and the optimal angle should be determined according to the local latitude, longitude and climatic conditions. Generally speaking, roofs with an angle between 15 and 60 degrees are perfect.

 


Roof waterproofing


Photovoltaic roof tiles are essentially a kind of tile, just given the function of power generation, can be used as a roof also has the function of waterproofing and water conductivity, but photovoltaic roof tiles below the concrete roof waterproofing is still essential to do a good job of a thing, after all, the roof leakage will be a very unpleasant experience.

 


Roof safety


The installation of photovoltaic roof tiles needs to be carried out on the roof, and it is important to ensure safety during the installation process to avoid accidents. Safety equipment such as safety belts and safety ropes can be used to protect the safety of the installers.

 


In conclusion, before carrying out the installation of photovoltaic roof tiles, the roof structure needs to be evaluated and inspected, the appropriate installation method and angle needs to be selected, and the safety and waterproofing of the installation process needs to be ensured. This will ensure the stability and safety of the photovoltaic system, maximize the power generation efficiency, and extend the service life of the system at the same time.
